to the work to \>v (lone. Suppose, for example, several radiators, previously in 
use, are suddenly shut off, causing much less demand for steam. An excess of 
supply would immediately follow, with waste of fuel and other inconveniences, 
but immediately the draft closes owing to the pressure upon the lever at F, 
the fire failing to get a sup])ly of air declines at once, and with it the steam. 

8. T/ic Safeti/vnlri (I) is so constructed as to make no noise if steam should 
blow through it. To avoid tlie very common accident of adhesion between the 
valve and its seat, it will be observed that the lever is so arranged with reference 
to the water-column, that the float (H) bears upon the long end of the lever 
and raises it whenever the limiting pressure of the steam has been in the least 
exceeded. The escape-pijie from the safety-valve takes the steam blown oft' to 
a condensing cess-pool underground. In practice, the ))oiler actually l)lows off" 
steam so seldom that this part of the apjiaratus might be safely dispensed with. 
But it is thought prudent to retain it. 

THE DISTRIBUTION OF STEAM. 

11. V,'roii<jlit-i.i-oii pijicx, K K, laid at a suitable angle and of ample size to carry 
back the drip, convey the steam to the radiators. If it is pi'cfcrrcd to receive 
the wai-ni air through registers, as in the commoii hot air furnaces, this is as 
readllv accomplished as in any ordinary furnace, but except so far as may be 
requisite for securing an efficient ventilation, this plan is not recounnended. 

10. T/ie liadlafors are placed wherever convenience dictates. They are 
of several kinds. The plain radiator, seen in Plate II, is formed of two sheets 
of wrought-iron, one surface is flat and the other is indented by concave depres- 
sions, at the bottom of which the two plates are riveted fast. The edges arc 
folded over a hempen cord to a steam tight joint. The japanned surface is deco- 
rated with tasteful designs, and several seasons of experience show tliat there is 
no deterioration from rust, within or without, either in sunnner or winter. The 
same construction of radiators is adopted in all the forms. The ornamental 
screens are of various patterns, similar to Plate III, and are covered by slabs of 
marble. Mantles, like Plate IV, afford a very desirable form for covering the 
radiators, which are thus made to occupy a time-honored position for a source 
of heat. 

11. The steam is admitted to the radiators by the large steam-cock A, at the 
base, and the air contained in the radiator escapes at the small air-cock, (0,) 
Plate II. By regulating the quantity of air allowed to escape, any portion or 
the whole of the surface of the radiator is brought into action, thus alloAving of 
easy regulation of the heat foi" variations of external temperature. If at any 
time too much surface has been brought into action, by closing the steam-cock 
and opening the air-key, the radiators are immediately cooled and the tempera- 
ture readily regidated. 

ADVANTAGES OF THIS HEAT. 

12. (a.) It in radiant heat, warming the person like the rays of an open fire 
even at some distance. ()).) The air never comes in contact with any surface 
heated above boiling water, (212° F.,) and consequently the invisible particles of 
dust, always afloat in the air, never become burned to give that peculiar oppres- 
sive and unwholesome atmosphere so common with hot-air furnaces, (c.) It is 
free from dust and does not crack furniture or parch the skin, (d.) It eft'ects a 
remarkably even distrilnition of heat, and is wholly unaffected by changes in or 
violence of the wind, (e.) It may be taken without loss or difficulty to the re- 
motest wing of an irregular house, and will there do its work as fully as in any 
other position. This advantage cannot othei'wise be obtained, (f.) It is noiseless, 
and makes itself felt without loss of time, (g.) Finally, the whole apparatus is 
perfectly automatic or self-regulating, and will do more work from a given weight 
of coal than any heating apparatus now in use.

INTRODUCTORY. 



In offering this first Number of THE ILLUSTRATED 
GAZETTEER AND BUSINESS BOOK OF CONNEC- 
TICUT, our first words, we are sorry to say, must be those 
of apology. We had hoped and intended to have issued 
this, our first number, in the month of July, but unforeseen 
and nncontrollable circumstances have prevented. 

K the public sustain ns in our work we intend to continue 
our History in annual chapters, down to the present time. 

Our Portraits and Biographies speak for themselves. 

Our Business Directory is believed to be the fullest and 
most correct that has ever been issued in the State. 

Our Miscellaneous Department is not so complete as we 
intend it to be hereafter. 

Such a work as this, involving so much labor and such ex- 
tensive research, must necessarily embrace some imperfec- 
tions. Our succeeding volumes, we are determined shall 
exhibit a decided improvement on the present one, and we 
shall spare no pains to make them perfectly reliable. 

*^* We will thank any one who may detect errors or dis- 
crepancies in this volume, to send us their corrections.

PICTORIAL 

HISTORY OF COMECTICUT. 



CHAP TEE I. 



The geographical area of Connecticut is much less than that of any 
of the New England States, except its sister State of Rhode Island. 
But its political, commercial and mechanical importance is scarcely 
less than that of any other State, unless we except Massachusetts. 
A man's might is estimated by his deeds, and if we consider the part 
Connecticut has borne in the history of this great nation, we must 
award it a high place in the scale of States. In the great struggle for 
national existence, and afterward for national freedom, Coimecticut bore 
a most conspicuous part, and her children may point with pride to the 
history of her noble acts, her generous sacrifices, her stern and unwav- 
ering devotion, her enlarged charities, her manly men and Christian 
women. This we shall see and confess, as point after point in its his- 
tory is unfolded in this series of papers. 

We propose to write a concise and faithful history of the State, 
commencing with its first settlement by the whites, to continue as 
long as we may be permitted and encouraged to issue our Annual Gaz- 
etteer. 

A little more than two centuries since, the f^iir domain of this import- 
ant fraction of our great country was a wilderness, occupied by the 
aboriginal proprietors and savage beasts of prey. The Red Man, in 
company with the Bear, Panther, Wolf, Wildcat, Fox, Raccoon, etc. 
etc., prowled over its rough surface, subject to no law but might. The 
beautiful rivers, bays and harbors of this fine region were ploughed 
by no keel and whitened by no sail. The hum of commerce, the 
sound of the woodman's axe, the hammer of the busy mechanic, the 
buzz and clatter of the manufacturer's spindles, the whizz and roar of

the steam engine, the scream of the locomotive whistle, and the rumble 
of heavy trains of cars on their iron track, bearing their ten thousands 
-of intelligent travelers, and their precious burdens of freight, disturbed 
none of the sleeping echoes of hill and valley so beautifully dispersed 
over its unreclaimed surface. Churches, consecrated to the service 
of the only true God, there were none, and the ten thousand school 
houses and family altars were not yet reared. As it had been from 
the creation, so up to the period of its first visitation by the Mayflowei 
and its heroic band of men and women, it was the wild home of barbar- 
ous tribes of Indians, who gleaned an uncertain subsistence by the use 
of their bows and arrows and the rudest attempts at agriculture, of 
which the whole product was a scanty supply of Indian maize and 
beans. The Pequots, the Qainnipiacs^ the Tunxis, the ffammonassettsj 
the Mohegans, with some others, were the principal tribes inhabiting the 
whole territory of our State. A race of men shrewd, cunning, artful in 
the chase and war, cruel to their enemies and generous to their friends, 
improvident and ignorant of all those arts which give glory to a na- 
tion and prowess to its arms — a race fast perishing from the face of 
the earth by their own indolence and inertness, as well as the unerring 
law of Ilim who ruleth over all. 

ITS OCCUPATION BY THE WHITES. 

Such was the country and the race inhabiting it when the Fore- 
fathers, guided by the hand of Providence, landed on its shores and 
took possession of its fair and fruitful realm. 

As soon as the news of the actual settlements at Plymouth, Straw- 
berry Bank, (Salem,) and Shawmut, (Boston,) had reached the mother 
country, the tide of emigration to the New World set in with renewed 
vigor, and soon thousands were on their way to the Western Hemi- 
sphere. Various motives induced this emigration. Some were moved 
by expectations of sudden and easily acquired wealth; some were am- 
bitious of power in the New World ; some crossed the ocean to escape 
poverty and a debtor's prison or a felon's doom ; and maiiy came in 

search of 

"Freedom to worship God." 

On reaching our shores, these emigrants spread themselves abroad 
over the face of the country in search of some desirable spot on which 



PICTORIAL HISTORY OF CONNECTICUT. 



to pitch their tent and establish a liome. The rich and fertile lands, 
watered by the beautiful Connecticut and washed by the waves of Long 
Island Sound, early attracted the attention of these pioneers, and ex- 
travagant stories of the beauty of the country, the fertility of the soil, 
the salubrity of the climate and capacity of its waters, were speedily 
borne to the mother colonies and the mother country, and a scramble 
was made for the )nore promising localities. Parties of settlers from 
the Massachusetts colonies early took possession of the fairest and 
most available points of Connecticut, and commenced those labors 
which have carried the State to its present high grade of religious, 
commercial and political prosperity. 

But before we proceed with the civilized liistory of our State, we 
propose to give some account of its original occupants, 

THEIR ORIGIN. 

Various opinions have attained respecting the origin of the Aborig- 
ines of this country. As any mere speculation is unreliable, I will 
not waste time in the repetition, or give my speculations with regard to 
the various views held by antiquarians and historians in reference to 
this unimportant matter. It is enough for you and me, dear reader, to 
take the original occupants of our State as the earlier settlers found 
them. Nor will it answer for me in these brief memoirs to attempt 
anything like a full and minute Indian history of Connecticut, as it 
would swell my work to an unwieldly bulk. The history of the 
North American Indians lias been written with great care and particu- 
larity by men whose love for antiquarian research has abundantly 
fitted them for the task, and whose truthfulness of character warrants 
us in accepting their productions with the most perfect confidence. I 
will only mention here a few works, and to which I am happy to ac- 
knowledge my indebtedness for much of the material of this portion 
of my history, viz : " Winslow's Outline," "Drake's Book of the Indians 
of North America," "History of the Indians of Connecticut, by John 
W. DeForest," and '• Hollister's History of Connecticut." Wiihout 
more preface, then, let me proceed at once to the consideration of the 
condition and character of the Connecticut Indians, as Gov. Winslow 
found them at his early coming to this colony. 



PICTORIAL HISTORY OF CONNECTICUT. 



PERSONAL APPEARANCE. 

Except in cases of deformity, which were exceedingly rare among 
the New Enghmd tribes, the personal appearance of our Indians was 
imposing and attractive. His figure was fine, his carriage ertct, and 
his movements gave evidence of immense muscular power, combined 
with great suppleness and agility. His copper-colored complexion 
was strongly set off with eyes of a dart hue, set wide apart in the 
head, hair of jet swinging in long heavy braids from the top of the 
head, or gathered and confined with eagle's feathers or porcupine's 
quills, gayly and fantastically colored with those bright and varied 
hues, for which they were so famous; high cheek bones protruding 
on either side of a coarse broad nose, finishing otf with a wide sensual 
mouth. The females were far less attractive, being short and " dumpy," 
with coarser features than the males. 

The male Indian was complete lord of his family, and (he female 
was made to drudge and toil in all the severer labors of the household 
and agriculture. His vocation was to hunt, and wage war upon the 
enemies of his tribe, her's to prepare the fruits of the chase, to till the 
ground and gather the scanty crops produced by their thriftless hus- 
bandry, and to care for the wigwam and the fast coming pappooses. 



We have alluded to the hunt. With the Indian, hunting amounted 
to a passion. Lazy to a proverb, and ever ready to shirk any phy.^ical 
exercise which was not impelled either by the chase or war, in both 
these he exhil)ited an energy which no obstacle could subdue and no 
difficulty overcome. He would tramp through the tnickless forests 
day after day in the severest weather, with no thought of fatigue, en- 
durln"' huno-cr almost to the point of starvation without one word of 
mnrmurin<^ or complaint. A scalp or a bear in prospect, awakened 
all his enei'gy, and the acquisition of either was enough amply to repay 
hiin for all his toil and suffering. 

The weapons used in the chase and in war were exceedingly simple 
and few in number. Tlie principal of these was the bow and arrow: 
and although in the effeminate hands of civilization it is by no means 
a powerful weapon, yet when used by an expert savage it was no 



PICTORIAL HISTORY OF CONNECTICUT, 



mean instrument of destruction. Nothing was more common than to 
send an arrow "clean through" a bear or even buffalo at the distance 
of fifty yards. Their bows were made, for the most part, from the wood 
of the hickory tree, and were from three to even eight feet in length, 
although these last were the exceptions. The bow was strung with 
the cured intestines of the various wild animals which fell a prey to 
their weapons. Their arrows were generally composed of reeds or 
some light wood, and were armed at the point with a head of flint or 
some other hard stone, curiously and elaborately fashioned by the 
simple process of hammering between two hard stones, while the tail 
of the shaft w\as provided with a feather to serve as a rudder and keep 
it steady on its death course from the bow. Great was the pride and 
gloi-y of the bow, and he was not thought fit to assume the position of 
a warrior until he could "string a bow" which would utterly mock the 
efforts of the most stalwart arm of the civilized pale face. 

Besides the bow, next in importance was the spear, or lance. This 
was not common with all the tribes of Indians, but among those tribes 
where it was in use it became a weapon of great efficiency. Next in 
utility was the hatchet, or tomahawk, in the use of which the savage 
attained wonderful dexterity. It is related of Gen. Putnam, a fon of 
Connecticut, that in a certain battle in which he was engaged, he was 
taken prisoner and bound to a tree until the close of the fight. Pend- 
ing the action he was discovered by a young warrior who seemed to be 
bent more on sport than revenge, and who immediately commenced 
practicing his skill in throwing the tomahawk, making a target of the 
prisoner's head. Taking his stand at a fair distance from his mark lie 
brandished his deadly instrument above his head and sent it hurling 
through the air. As he saw the fatal axe gleaming in the sunshine, 
Putnam thought that his time had come, and uttering a hasty prayer 
resigned himself to his fate. The hatchet half buried itself in the tree 
close beside his head, when the young savage, with a fiendish exulta- 
tion at his success, released his tomahawk and took his stand for an- 
other trial, in which the fatal iron buried itself in the tree closely on 
the other side of the victim. In this way he made some dozen trials, 
and then left the General bound as he had fouud him, and hastened to 
join his brethren in the fray. 

The war club and scalping-knife were no unimportant weapons in 
either the hunt or the battle. The club served to finish the murder- 



PICTORIAL HISTORY OF CONNECTICUT. 



ous work of tlie bow, and the knife to skin tlie prey, or scalp the 
fallen enemy. These were the weapons, few and simple, with wdiich 
the Indians svere armed. Upon the skillful use of these depended in a 
great measure the subsistence of iheir families, and their success in 
the wars so often and cruelly waged against their enemies. 

In the hunt, the Indians resorted to much craft and cunning in ap- 
proaching their prey. It will at once be seen that it was important 
to approach much nearer to the animal cf which they were in pursuit, 
than if they held in their hand the far-reaching rifle. For this reason 
they resorted to many arts that they might come within bow shot of 
their victim. Sometimes they hid themselves in ihe thick copses which 
abounded in the country, or in the long rank grass, awaiting patiently 
many an anxious liour for the approach of the animal to some favorite 
haunt or ford; sometimes they would cover themselves with the skin of 
a wild beast, and bow in hand would creep on all fours by a circuitous 
route to the spot where the animal was browsing or sunning himself 
on the warm side of some abrupt hillock, and the first intimation of 
the approach of his mortal foe was the sharp agony in his vitals while 
the death-shaft sped through them. 

For the lesser animals the Indian resorted to traps. These were of 
various and ingenious construction. Sometimes a deep pit was dug 
in the soft earth, the bottom of which was studded with very sharp 
stakes, and covered over with a light basket-work of sticks and leaves, 
over which the dirt was strewn to hide it from the animal's view. 
Sometimes a snare was laid by bending down a stout sapling and se- 
curing it so slightly that in crossing it the animal was sure to release 
the fastening and generally find himself swinging high in air, where he 
speedily expired. Another mode was to place a large stone on a 
figure 4 with a tempting bait, so tliat as soon as the ravenous beast 
should seize upon it the support of the stone should give way and it 
would fall upon and crush the unthinking meddler. 

As a general rule the Indian pursued his hunting alone, but some- 
times they hunted in large parties, taking with them their whole 
housel)old force, excepting the very aged and the sick. These were fa- 
mous occasions and were preceded by great preparations and festivi- 
ties. They generally occurred in the months of October and Novem- 
ber. For weeks previous to the setting out of the tribe — fur hundreds 
often accompanied the hunting parties — the note of preparation and

revel I y were heard in every wigwam. Bows and arrows, spears, traps, 
snares, fishing tackle, etc., were provided in the greatest profusion, and 
before they set off a grand hunting dance was performed with every 
attendant ceremony. The warriors were decked in their richest attire 
and painted in their gaudiest hues, the powwows were there with their 
everlasting drum, and the whole proceedings betokened as great 
earnestness and solemnity as if an im2:)ortant battle were about to be 
fought, and on which depended the very existence of the tribe. The 
most violent gesticulations shadowed forth the various duties of the 
chase, terrible screeches and unearthly groans represented the dying ag- 
onies of the victims and the triumphant shouts of the victors. Knives 
were brandished and tomahawks were swung high in the air, arrows 
were shot at distant targets or a harmless tree, the ground was torn 
up by the hands of the half crazed savages and thrown over the heads 
of the whole throng. 

All things being ready, they started for the distant hunting ground, 
sometimes sixty or even an hundred miles distant from their homes, 
takino- with them their wives and children. The grounds had been 
selected and marked during the previous summer by experienced 
hunters who had been sent out by the tribe for that purpose. They 
set off with much merriment and shouts of laughter, each boasting to 
the other of the great exjiloits he would perform during the hunt. 
Two or three days brought them to the selected grounds. Each man 
now elected his separate site, the sachems and the aged warriors hav- 
ing the precedence in the selection. Then each for himself and his 
family erected a rude booth for his temporary residence, of such mate- 
rials as were at hand, generally of the boughs of evergreen trees. The 
floor was thickly covered with dry leaves or withered grass. The camp 
kettle was suspended from a pole resting on two crotched stakes driven 
into the ground a little distance from the hut. The next thing to be 
attended to was to mark the tracks and trails of the various wild ani- 
mals and to set traps for the lesser, such as the otter, beaver, raccoon, 
fox, rabbit, squirrel, turkey, pigeon, partridge, quail, etc., etc. The 
larger animals, as the deer, bear, wolf, panther, etc., were waylaid and 
shot from ambush, the Indian discovering exceeding sagacity in con- 
cealing his presence and approaching the game. 

When the snows began to fall the scattered families were collected 
together, and the treasures of dried meat, which had been cured by the 



PICTORIAL HISTORY OF CONNECTICCJT. 



squaws during the hunt, were shouldered by every one capable of 
bearing a load, when they all started for home once more. If there 
was more meat than could be carried, it was safely buried and secured 
from the wolves, where it was soon after found and brought safely home 
by a commission despatched immediately therefor on reaching the so 
long deserted village. With economy, they generally secured meat 
enough upon these hunts to last them quite through the winter. But 
this was a virtue little known and seldom cultivated by the Aborigi- 
nes. Wasteful to a proverb, they riotously feasted until the pro\isions 
disappeared, and then submitted to the pangs of famine as best they 
might through the long and pinching weeks of winter. 

Fish were taken then precisely as they are taken now, viz : by seine, 
spear, and hook and line. True, the tackle of the Indian was rude, 
and consequently comparatively inefReient ; but they nevertheless con- 
tiived to secure a fair supply from the finny occupants of the rivers and 
bays with which their beautiful country was so freely indented and 
slashed. Their seines were simple hand scoops which required great 
skill and care. Their spears were made with a single point like a lance, 
headed with some hard substance, either of bone or stone, with a barb 
to hold the animal. These the Indians used with great dexterity, 
throwing them from the prow of their frail canoe, over which protruded 
a bundle of pitch sticks split finely and bound together with thongs or 
withes, lighted at one end, and whose light clearly revealed the posi- 
tion of the victim, as he lay unsuspectingly on the bed of the river or 
creek. Their hooks were generally composed of two small bones, 
lashed together with a fine sinew, with a barb similar to those seen on 
our own fish-hooks. Their lines were made of a fine grass, curiously 
twisted or braided. 

Thus provided, the Indian supplied his daily necessities, and but for 
his inordinate love of ease and illimitable prodigality, might easily 
have laid by ample stores for the long and severe winters which in 
those early times were almost sure to reign in this inhospitable climate. 
But such was the improvidence of these simple sons of the forest, that 
want and hunger were almost sure attendants upon every winter-wig- 
wam, and sometimes starvation and death. And while we are upon 
the sumptuary of the Aborigines, we may as well consider briefly their 



PICTORIAL HISTORY OF CONNECTICUT. 



AGRICULTURE. 



With the rich alluvial bottoms of the rivers and the strong soil of the 
hill sides, the present occupants of Connecticut contrive to make the 
harvest an ingathering of plenty, and the horn of her agriculture is 
nearly always full. But with the unthrifty tilth of the Aborigines, the 
result was a meager and pitiful harvest. A few bushels of maize, a few 
pecks of white beans, and a little larger supply of tobacco, to each 
family, was the whole tale of the annual ingathering of their crops. 
The consequence of this improvidence was much real suffering from 
hunger during the long winter months, for which they had so scantily 
provided. 

The implements of husbandry were even less efficient and fewer in 
number, than those of the chase. They had neither plow, nor harrow, 
nor scythe, nor sickle, nor any other tool than a coarse dibble, a kind of 
wooden spade, and a rude imitation of a hoe, made from a huge oyster 
shell, with a short rough stick attached to it. With these they cleared the 
land and prepared it for the seed, after which nothing more was done 
until the time to gather the diminutive crops had arrived. 

The men did not decfrade themselves to the toils of the field. To this 
hard drudgery they compelled the women, who performed all the severe 
labors of the field and the wigwam. There were, however, two excep- 
tions to this rule. "When a family had decided to break up a new 
patch of ground the whole neighborhood were summoned together, 
and frequently there might be seen a hundred or even more, men and wo- 
men, all busily engaged with their rude spades and hoes, tearing up the 
turf, grubbing out the roots, and making the time pass merrily with 
their gibes and jokes, occasionally cheered by an extempore recitative, 
led by some chief, to every sentence of which all the warriors and 
squaws responded with a grunt. This generally was descriptive of 
some battle or hunting scene in which the singer or his superior sachem 
had taken a personal share, or prophetic of some more daring feat in 
which he was to engage in some premeditated foray on an inimical 
tribe. Sometimes, however, their humdrum songs partook of a more 
pastoral character, and set forth the glories of harvest home and the 
domestic happiness of the wigwam and the home circle. 'J he whole 
scene usually wound up with a grand feast and a propitiary dance to 
the harvest spirit, not unfrequently terminating with a bloody fight. 



10 



PICTORIAL HISTORY OF CONNECTICUT. 



The other occasion was in tlie gathering and curing the scanty to- 
bacco crup. This they did not allow their women to touch. "Whether 
this was the result of some superstition, or a high sense of the dignity 
of the pipe and its sacred uses, the writer does not pretend to know, 
and leaves it for each reader to settle for himself, as he may best judge 
from the premises. 

DWELLINGS AND FURNITURE. 

The houses of the New England and Canada Indians were far supe- 
rior in their construction to those of the Western and Southern Ab- 
origines. This fact is to be accounted for in the difference of climate. 
In the more inhospitable regions of the North, the savages were driven 
by the severity of the winters to seek to render their habitations more 
impervious to the winds and pelting storms and sifting snows. Many 
of the Western and Southern tribes sleep and dwell in the open air for 
a great porMon of the year, and when they are driven to seek a roof 
for shelter, simply set a half dozen straight poles tied together at the top 
s?==s=^r:F^^rrr^--^' '":^^=i^ and spread widely apart on the ground, around 
which rude mats or skins of wild animals are 
j^ d loosely drawn. In the center of this rude

I through a corresponding aperture in the top. 
j Here they cook and make their clothing 
. m*-- .--iii ^^^ implements of the cliase or husbandry 
l^^^^^l during the day, and when night comes on, 
arrange themselves around the fire on the 
ground which is strewn with leaves and 
dried grass, covered with mats or skins, 
their feet towards the fire, and their heads 
forming a large circle near the outside cir- 
cumference of the tent. 
The New England tribes, however, according to Gookin, one of the 
earliest and most observing histoiians of this wild branch of the human 
family, had learned from tlieir necessities to construct much more 
comfortable dwellings than their Western brethren. When an Indian 
family had resolved upon the erection of a habitation, the first thing to 
be done was to select a suitable site. This was usually near some vil- 
lao-e — for these nomads were quite gregarious in their habits — also. 




PICTORIAL HISTORY OF CONNECTICUT. 11 

nigh unto some desirable fisliing- grouni], or in the center of some rich 
alluvial plain or meadow, wliere the earth was easily tilled. One other 
consideration always entered largely into their calculations — a sheltered 
position wiih a sunny aspect. The site having been decided, the next 
thing to be done was to cut and drag to the spot a few dozen saplings, 
generally of the white birch, iinstripped of any of their limbs. These 
were set in the ground in close connexion in four rows, forming an ob- 
long square ; the size of which depended on the means of the builder 
and the number of the household. The bushy tops of these saplings 
were now brought together and woven and braided firmly together. 
The interstices were then filled with twigs and moss and clay until the 
walls and roof of these primitive dwellings were quite impervious to 
the cold. The roofs were often covered with birch or hemlock bark, 
so as to resist the most severe storms of rain. They were sometimes 
of great size ; some of them belonging to the sachems were a hundred 
feet long by fifty feet in breadth. The ordinary size, however, was 
from thirty to forty feet long by from fifteen to thirty feet wide. The 
fire was built on a pile of stones in the center of the hut, the smoke 
escaping through an opening in the top. The entrance, which was low 
and small, was secured in extreme weather by hanging a mat before 
it. In mild weather the cooking was done out of doors, but when this 
was impracticable, it was performed at the wigwam fire, around which 
ranged the warriors, lazily smoking their pipes or fashioning their 
bows and arrows, tomahawks, pipes, knives or spears. Over the fire a 
pole was laid on two crotched stakes set firmly in the ground, from 
which they suspended their meats upon a string. Water was heated 
in shallow earthen vessels, of which we shall have occasion presently 
to speak. 

Gookin, who spent much time with the Indians, prior to 1680, de- 
clares that many of their wigwams were as comfortable in the cold 
nights of those long and bitter winters, as the best houses of the Colo- 
nists. 

Having erected their dwellings, the next thing was to furnish them. 
This was a simple matter, compared with the fitting up of a modern 
house. In advance of their Southern brethren, they had attained the 
luxury of bedsteads, which were formed by driving crotched stakes in 
the ground, near the corner of the hut, across which poles were laid 
interlaced with small boughs and strips of bark, forming a kind of thick 



12 PICTORIAL HISTORY OF CONNECTICUT. 

network. On this was laid a thick coat of leaves or dried grass, which 
was overlaid with mats or skins. This was the prominent piece of 
furniture, the rest were simple enough. No chairs, or stools even, no 
table, no knives or forks, no plates or spoons, and no cooking utensils 
except the earthen kettle above alluded to, pails made from birch bark, 
bowls of the pepperage wood, and huge wooden ladles holding from a 
pint to a quart, carved neatly from the straight grained birch or ma- 
ple. Besides these were a great variety of baskets, woven from the 
splints of the ash tree, holding from a half pint to a half dozen bush- 
els. Many of them were really beautiful, being fantastically colored 
with the brilliant dyes for which the makers were so famous. They 
displayed also, considerable ingenuity in the manufacture of their 
cooking utensils and bowls ; some of these were of considerable size, 
holding several gallons. The pots were composed of clay mixed with 
fine sharp sand, dried in the sun and baked in the fire; shaped some- 
what like a deep earthen bowl. The wooden bowls, as we have said, 
were carved out of the huge knots of the pepperage tree, and being 
extremely hard and tough, must have cost the maker a great deal of 
patient toil. They were sometimes circular, sometimes oblong, and 
sometimes trefoil, according to the original shape of the knot. A few 
of these relics are still preserved with great care. In the rooms of the 
Historical Society at Hartford, are several of these remnants of that 
race which has so long been swept from the face of the country, over 
which for so many generations they held undisputed sway. The au- 
thor of "The History of the Indians of Connecticut," declares, in that 
excellent work, that he has seen at Norwich, two bowls, each holding 
about three pints, said to have once formed a part of the household 
stuff of the great sachem Uncas. One of these bowls is round and 
is adorned with a handle carved to represent the head of an owl, the 
other of an oblong shape, with two handles resembling the heads of 
dogs, facing each other. 

now THEY DRESSED. 

Although when leading an idle life the Indian was exceedingly neg- 
ligent of his dress, yet he was punctilious and even fastidious in the 
item of his wardrobe, on all occasions of state and parade. In warm 
weather they were not overburdened with clothing. The children ran 
about in a perfect state of nature until they were eight or ten years of 



I'ICTORIAL HISTORY OF CONNECTICUT. 13 

age, when a very scanty pattern of an apron sufficed. At ten or 
twelve the females were supplied with a breech cloth, which they wore 
until marriage, when they assumed the leather under shirt coming up 
over the breast and shoulders and fastened with a belt round tlie waist. 
This garment generally reached to the hips, and was open in front, the 
edges and border sometimes ornamented with a fi'inge of leather and 
dried porcupine quills. Over this they wore a skirt of the same ma- 
terial, often embroidered with many colored quills, and fastened at the 
waist and reaching nearly to the feet. The belt often exhibited much 
ingenious skill, and was made valuable by the addition of beads man- 
ufactured from the colored parts of the clam and oyster shells. A 
circlet of a similar kind was fastened round their brows, securing their 
lank hair from falling about their face, leaving it to fill in ungraceful 
tangles far down behind. In summer the men usually went naked, 
save a narrow apron fastened round the loins by a leather thong. In 
cold weather they wore tight fitting leather breeches, usually made 
from the skin of the deer, and colored by a yellow earth, so as to as- 
sume a buff" color. Down upon the outside of eacli leg ran a fringe of 
leather, sometimes ornamented with beads or porcupine quills. On 
the feet were worn moccasins made from the heavier parts of the bear 
skin, and ornamented in the same manner. Above all, was worn a 
leather cloak or shawl, ornamented according to the taste of the wearer, 
sometimes by a rude picture of a battle in which the warrior had figured, 
sometimes a hunting scene, and sometimes figures of beasts and birds, 
and all manner of creeping things. Acro.^s the shoulders, when going 
forth to battle or the chase, were slung the never forsaken bow and its 
full quiver of arrows, while slicking from the belt at the waist might 
be seen the handle of the scalping knife and the slender stem of the 
habitual pipe. Bat the head gear of the Indian craved most of his 
attention and called forth all his ingenuity. Sometimes the whole 
head was kept closely shaven, except a small tuft on the crown. This 
was kept constantly filled with bear's grease — in this respect occupy- 
ing the same point of civilization with our modern belles — and trained 
to a luxurious length. This was often braided and coiled and looped 
up on the top of the head and stuck full of the quills before spoken of, 
and ornamented with a bunch of eagle's quills, sometimes dyed, some- 
times retaining their original color ; or a string of wampum, the ends of 
which fell gracefully down his shioulders. Sometimes the preserved 



14 PICTORIAL HISTORY OF CONNECTICUT. 

bead of a fox, or even a wolf or bear, with the teeth grinning in all their 
ferocious naturalness, would take the place of the plume of eagle's 
feathers, giving a peculiarly savage aspect to its wearer. On all occa- 
sions of war, or diplomatic intercourse with other tribes, the warriors 
painted their ftices and heads in the most fjiptastic and hideous manner, 
until they were perfectly frightful to look upon. For ornaments, the 
women often wore bracelets and anklets, curiously manufactured from 
the bones of small animals, birds and fishes, or the purple centers of 
the oyster shell, curiously dyed, and so constructed that a tinkling or 
rattling sound escaped when the wearer walked or danced. On espe- 
cial occasions, as on the death of some member of the family, or the 
birth of an infant, or the marriage of a daughter, the squaws decorated 
themselves with a mantle wrought from the skins of beautiful birds, so 
that the feathers appeared in their natural condition, exhibiting all 
the varied hues of the sunny songsters, whose lives were thus foifeited 
to the caprices of the Indian maidens and matrons. They were far 
more profuse with paint than the men, who rarely painted themselves, 
except on the occasions above alluded to. The women colored their hair 
also, with red and yellow ocher, and plentifully rubbed in with a pro- 
fusion of bear's grease. 

AMUbEMENTS. 

The Indians have been called a taciturn race, but they are by no 
means averse to a frolicksome mood occasionally. It ill consorts with 
their ideas of dignity, to make the slightest exhibition of levity when 
any topic of weighty interest is under consideration, or any grave 
matter is in hand ; but in the hours of relaxation they unbend like 
children and give way to the most exuberant and boisterous mirth. 
As they enter upon war or the chase with all the ardor of their wild 
nature, so they carry into their amusements the same hearty zeal and 
devotion. Like all other savage, as well as civilized nations, the Ab- 
origines of Connecticut had a variety of games, into which all en- 
tered — games alike of skill and of chance. The former of these were 
engaged in from the mere desire of exhil)iting their strength and skill, 
the latter were used only for gambling purposes, a passion for which 
seems to have been inherent in the race. 

A game somewhat similar to that of cards, was played with pieces 
of rushes of unequal lengths and divers colors. Dice were not un- 



PICTORIAL HISTORY OF CONNECTICUT. 15 

known to them. They were formed of stones, three, four, or even five 
sided, with marks of value on each side. They were thrown from the 
hand upon a smooth place upon the ground. On the turn of these 
mao-ical bits of stone were often hazarded the entire fortune of the 
players, and great was the rejoicing of the winner and his friends, while 
the loosing party were exceedingly chagrined and disheartened. 
Sometimes the despondency of the victim was so deep and permanent 
as to lead to suicide. Foot ball was another favorite pastime with 
these simple sons of the forest, and into which game they carried all 
the enthusiasm of their nature. The game is ever an exciting one, 
and with them often resulted in a regular fight, sometimes ending in 
bloody heads and even death. 

DANCES. 

But of all the amusements among the Aborigines none was so ex- 
citing as the various dances observed among them. Some of thefe 
were stated and periodical, others merely occasional. Some were 
ceremonial, others were merely for the purposes of sport. Of the first 
mentioned were the planting and harvest dances ; the one a solemn 
invocation to their gods to avert calamity and grant a favorable 
issue to their husbandry, the other a joyous, exultant thanksgiving to 
the god of the harvest, for the abundant crops and for the plentiful 
supply of game and iish. Of the next class were the powwows of the 
medicine men to avert sickness or to heal it. Of this we shall speak 
more at length, under the head of " Diseases, etc." 

Among the ceremonial dances, were those preparatory to the hunt, 
or on going forth to war. Of the former of these we have already 
spoken, under our hunting head. The war dances were the grand 
ceretnonies of the nation. These were upon the occasion of going forth 
to battle, and the celebration of victories achieved. Great and solemn 
were the preparations for war. When a tribe had resolved to wage 
war upon another tribe, the warriors met in secret council to discuss 
the probabilities of success. If these were at all doubtful, trusty mes- 
sengers were despatched to some neighboring and friendly tribe with 
propositions to join them in the campaign. The utmost pains were 
taken to keep the whole matter a profound secret. Spies were sent 
out to examine all the passes to the enemy's country, and to ascertain 
if possible the numerical force of the enemy and their exact condition. 



16 



PICTORIAL HISTORY OF CONNECTICUT. 



Great preparations for the coming contest went on at home. An 
abundant supply of bows and arrows, tomahawks and scalping knives, 
were provided, and for weeks before setting forth, the young warriors 
underwent a vigorous discipline and drill in the arts of their savage 
warfare. 

At length, when everything was in readiness for the march, the 
warrior.-;, young and old, assembled in the public square of the villnge, 
for the purpose of a solemn war dance. This was a religious atiair. 
The priest, or medicine man of the tribe, sometimes called a 2)owwoii), 
decorated with skins of savage beasts, and making himself as horrible 
to human vision as it was possible for him to do, seated himself in the 
center of the square on the ground. He held between his knees a 
drum made from a hollow log, with the ends covered with a tightly 
drawn skin of some wild animal, to the edges of which were attached 
shells, which rattled against each other and produced a monot- 
onous and not inharmonious jingle, in just accordance wilh the ever- 
lasting turn, turn of the instrument to which they were attached. 
When the warriors were all ranged around him in order, the prie.-t be- 
gan gently and slowly to beat upon his drum with a heavy stick, ac- 
companying the blows with a gentle undulation of the body, and a low 
monitone of the voice, embodying the grievances of the tribe, the pur- 
pose of the war, and what was expected of every warrior, in the com- 
ing strife. At first his voice was low and monotonous and the move- 
ments of the Indians corresponded. They moved gently backward 
and forward, uttering an occa?ional approval of the priest's recitation 
by a low, short grunt. Gradually warming with his theme, the powwow 
began to beat his drum with fiercer thumps, and to elevate his voice 
until it amounted to little more than a prolonged shriek. The move- 
ments of the warriors were proportionably accelerated, until at length 
they seemed like men each posses-^ed of more than a legion of devils. 
They threw themselves into the most horrible distortions, uttered the 
most diabolical groans and cries, brandished their hatchets and knives, 
and went through all the motions of the bloody fray they so eagerly 
expected, with the most frantic delight. 

Suddenly, when the priest and his waniors were entirely exhausted, 
at a signal given from him, the dance ceased, while the dancers stood 
reeking with perspiration and panting with the violent exertion to 
which they had been subjected. But after a few minutes were allowed 



PICTORIAL HISTORY OF CONNECTICUT. 17 

for rest, when the same violent scenes were repeated, sometimes even 
to the tenth or twelfth time, each time with a slight variation of the 
programme. If in these excessive exercises, any of the youthful war- 
riors broke down — which was not unfrequent — the poor youths were 
rejected from the band of braves, and left at home in disgrace with 
the old men and women, who exercised all their ingenuity to torment 
them with ridicule, calling them squaws and setting them to a squaw's 
unworthy task. At the conclusion of the dance, they seated them- 
selves in grave circles around the priest and solemnly quatfed three 
whitis from the war-pipe, beginning with the grand sachem and de- 
scending in regular gradation according to the acknowledged standing 
of the warriors. 

And now, having made all due preparations and propitiated their 
deities, they set out upon their march of death. As soon as they be- 
gin to approach the neighborhood of their foes, they become circum- 
spect and cautious. Scouts are kept in advance of the main column 
and on either wing, who scour the country with great fidelity and se- 
cresy, sometimes disguising themselves and penetrating even into the 
very camp of the enemy. If they are not discovered on their approach, 
they arrange to fall upon their unsuspecting victims in that heavy 
hour of slumber just preceding the dawn, and mercilessly destroy all 
whom they can reach, being careful to reserve a suitable number of 
prisoners to grace their triumphal return to their native village. After 
burning all the wigwams, and killing all the women and old men, and 
destroying the standing crops, if there are any, they gather together 
the spoils, of which every warrior bears his part, and amidst the wild- 
est rejoicings commence their return march. On arriving at their 
homes, a council is held to decide on the division of the spoils and the 
disposition to be made of the prisoners. If a widow or mother have 
been bereaved in the recent conflict, she is permitted to select one from 
among the prisoners to supply his place, and he is adopted into the 
family in good faith and becomes, bona fide, a member of the bereaved 
household. But some are always reserved for martyrdom, and these 
generally the chief men among the prisoners. 

Their doom having been decided, they are at once handed over to 
the tender mercies of the tribe. The women and children vie with the 
men in calling them every opprobrious name, and taunting them with 
the basest cowardice. They are spat upon and every disgusting and 



18 PICTORIAL HISTORY OF CONNKCTICUT. 

humiliating missle is hurled at their head, until they are often covered 
with the most filthy and unsavory substances. Then comes the more 
serious work of their torment. Sometimes they are made to run the 
gauntlet of the whole tribe, armed with knives, and if they reach the 
end with life, however horribly cut and mangled, they are excused from 
further trial and adopted into the tribe. But more generally they are 
doomed to endure tlie horrors of a slow fire, after suftering the horrible 
and disgusting mutilations of the most prominent members of the body. 
Sometimes their bodies are stuck full of dry pitch splinters, which are 
set on fire and suffered thus slowly and literally to roast them alive. 
Sometimes they were tied to a tree in such a manner that they could 
walk entirely round it, and a slow fire was kindled at such a distance 
as to prolong the tortures of the victims to the utmost possible point 
of endurance. These and many other devices, as ingenious and hell- 
ish, were resorted to, in order to impress the mind of the victim with 
the great power of the conquerors, or to extort from the suffering en- 
emy the smallest token of weakness and pain. But it was rare that 
the slightest sign escaped the sutterer. In his greatest agony, he 
would taunt his persecutors with their weakness, and defy them to in- 
vent some new torture. With the utmost apparent composure he 
would sing his death song, mingled with contemptuous curses upon 
the heads of the " miserable squaws,''^ as he would denominate his 
fiendish executioners. This was considered the height of heroism, and 
Commanded the admiration of even his tormentors. 

Besides the dances already mentioned, there was one so peculiar as 
to deserve a separate notice, and might well be called the 

^ RAFFLE DANCE. 

This dance is characteristic, and shows how deeply inbred into their 
nature was the spirit of gambling, A dozen or more young unmar- 
ried men would assemble in one of the larger wigwams in the village, 
each one bringing with him his entire wealth. The indispensable drum 
was there, and when its slow rub-a-dub-dub commenced, one of the 
company stepped into the circle, with some valuable article in his 
hand, such as a beautiful bow and quiver, or tomahawk, a highly 
finished knife, a bowl or basket of his own cojistruction, or even a 
costly belt of wampum, and dancing slowly forth and back, be de- 



PICTORIAL HISTORY OF CONNECTICUT. 19 

clared its value in a musical recitation, keeping the most exact time 
with the tap of the drum. Presently some one from the circle would 
step forward and beg it, saying, " Give it me, I pray," when the dancer 
would immediately bestow it upon the beggar. In this way he would 
proceed, until he had disposed of every worldly thing he possessed. 
Then another would step into the circle and become alike bankrupt, 
his only chance of carrying anything away being that of begging in 
his turn from others. Such was the fascination of this game that it 
was no uncommon thing for the dancer to strip oft" his clothing and 
thus throw it away, or even to offer his body and life as a slave. 

THE FAMILY. 

There is considerable discrepancy among the early historians of the 
Aborigines, in respect to their conjugal condition. While some assert 
that anything like affection in the household was rare indeed, others 
declare that it was very general, and that the attachment between man 
and wife was very strong. That there were instances, few and far be- 
tween, of deep and tender attachment, none I think can doubt, and it 
seems equally certain to my mind that they assumed the relation of 
husband and wife for convenience. But of the strong aff"ection of the 
parents for their offspring, there is no dissention. Indeed, the early 
writers, whose ideas of family government had grown up under the 
rigid rule of their own puritan homes, declared that the parental au- 
thority was scarcely a name, and that the young savages soon assumed 
the rule of the wigwam, and carried it with a high hand against all re- 
straint. But so soon as the unbreeched heathen began to reach the 
estate of manhood, the tribe assumed his teaching and discipline, and 
every flagrant act of disobedience or insubordination was severely 
punished. 

The husband was complete lord of the wigwam, and the wife acted 
the part of a subordinate. The women were considered merely as 
drudges, and upon them were laid all the heavy burdens of life. To 
till the soil and gather in the crops, to cure the meat and skins coming 
from the chase, to procure fuel from the forest and food from the water, 
to care for every household necessity ; these were to constitute the ob- 
ligations of the wife, and woe to her who shrunk from the task. Her 
indolent lord was at liberty to quicken her movements with the use of 
his foot or fist, or any weapon which might be at hand. And if she

fell a victim to liis fury, there was no court to redress her wrongs, for 
the husband had power over the wife, even to the spilling of lier 
bloix!. It, is asserted, however, by those who became lirst acquainted 
with the Indians, that before the fatal '■'■firewater'''' was introduced, 
such bloody scenes were seldom enacted, except in cases of marked in- 
fidelity on the part of the wife. This was looked upon as the highest 
crime of which the debased squaw could be guilty, wliile the common 
and constant violation of tiie conjugal relation on the husband's fart, 
was by no means considered asde^ervini; rehukc. 



PICTORIAL HISTORY OF CONNECTICUT. 21 

But tlie conjugal tie was not considered as biiiding as among civil- 
ized nations. The husband could put away his wife at pleasure, or 
assume a plurality of wives, provided he were able to maintain them. 
Nor was the wife bound to remain with her husband, if he treated her 
with extreme crueltv. If she could manage to escape from her un- 
happy home, and take refuge with a neighboring tribe, she was cer- 
tain to meet with a cordial reception, and a husband ready to her 
hand. But if, by the reverses of war, she should again fall into the 
hands of her former companions, a terrible fate awaited her. Still, 
although divorce seemed thus easy, the ca-es of separation, as Roger 
Williams and other writers assure us, were much more rare than might 
have been expected. It was not uncommon to find couples who had 
lived together for twenty, thirty, and even tifcy years, in apparent har- 
mony. 

COURTSHIP AND MARRIAGE. 

When a young Indian had fixed his eye on one of the village belles, 
his first step was to throw himself as much as possible in her way. 
He visited the wigwam of her father, and often assisted her in the 
liofhter labors in which she was enofaged. He also brou(>;ht to her 
small presents, such as a finely wrought basket, a plump partridge, a 
rabbit from his snares, a few porcupine quills, or a bit of wampum. If 
she reciprocated his attachment she cordially accepted his gifts as an 
evidence that his attentions were not displeasing to her. If his ad- 
vances were troublesome, she would throw his gifts into his face and 
run from his presence. This was generally considered a rejection of 
the unlucky lover. But there were jilts among the aboriginal, as w-ell 
as the subsequent occupants of the soil, and a shrewd lover could 
usually tell which way the wind blew, and persevered accordingly in 
his siege, until the fair citadel was overcome and ceased to resist. 
Meanwhile the parents had been well plied with gifts, and were thus 
enlisted in behalf of the lover. 

No one was allowed, to enter into the conjugal state without the 
sanction of the principal sachem of the tribe. Of course, when the 
successful lover had secured his quarry, his next step was to gain the 
consent of the chief. This was easily obtained, as a general thing, and 
then, as for ceremony, the only thing necessary was to place her hand 
in his, in the presence of the sachem, and the thing was done. 



22 PICTORIAL HISTORY OF CONNECTICUT. 



THE CIVIL POLITY. 

The Indians bad no written code of laws. As in all barbarous na- 
tions, there was a vast deal of independence. I cannot discover that 
the chiefs interfered with the commercial or domestic intercourse of 
their subjects, except in extreme cases of wrong or injury. If an In- 
dian beat his wife or child, even to death, it was considered his prerog- 
ative to do so. If an Indian overreached another and imposed upon 
him, there was no suit brought " for obtaining goods under false pre- 
tences," but the sufferer was universally judged to have got his deserts 
and the robber was accounted shrewd and cunning in the trick. While 
one was laughed at for his verdancy the other was honored for his 
sagacity. 

Hereditary and absolute monarchy obtained with all the American 
tribes. The Indians of New England were governed in each tribe, 
which was absolutely independent of all other tribes, except so far as 
they were bound by treaty for mutual defense or aggression, by a head 
chief, called the Grand Sachem. He was assisted in his counsels by 
several inferior chiefs called sagamores. The first inherited his powers, 
the others were appointed by the Grand Sachem, and were generally 
selected on account of their skill in the hunt or their bravery in war. 
Before these sagamores, presided over by the chief, came all important 
trial cases, involving life, such as murder, treason, cowardice in war, etc., 
etc. When the culprit was adjudged to be guilty of the crime for 
which he was arraigned, the sentence was carried into immediate exe- 
cution, and he was despatched with a single blow of the club or toma- 
hawk, administered by the chief, who was also the public executioner. 

Each of these sagamores, on his appointment, became entitled to 
gather around his person such a number of wariiors as he might be 
able, to whom he became the head and led them to battle, either un- 
der the direction of the Chief or at his own suggestion. Hence a con- 
stant rivalry existed between these petty chiefs and their respective 
bands. This was carried at times to such lengths as to lead to bloody 
collisions, which required the interference of the Chief Sachem. But 
this was rarely the case, and the rivalry resulted in strenuous en- 
deavors to outdo each other in warlike and other manly feats. 

In case of fiiilure of male descent, some female of the royal line 



PICTORIAL HISTORY OF CONNECTICUT. 



23 



succeeded to the government; an event rarely occurring, although not 
without precedent. Sometimes it happened that on the death of the 
sacliem, there was no direct issue in the royal family. Then a sachem 
was elected from th6 lower chiefs, to sit upon the throne. This was 
an occasion of the greatest interest and anxiety. The different branches 
of the tribe were summoned to the principal village, the late royal res- 
idence. Here, under the direction of the priests, they spent many 
days in religious preparation, such as severe fasting, violent and long 
continued dances, harangues from the most able men among them, 
to be united in the choice they were about to make, eulogies upon the 
character of the late reigning monarch, etc., etc. When several days 
had thus passed, they met in the grand council room, and after a long 
and ominous silence each chief and warrior, as he was called on, indi- 
cated his preference for a candidate to fill the vacant post of honor and 
power. The chief who received a majority of the votes was declared 
elected, and he was duly installed by placing on his person and in his 
hands the insignia of royalty which had belonged to his predecessor. 
He was then conducted in great pomp and circumstance to the late 
royal residence, and there formally inducted into all its prerogatives, 
including the wives and children of the defunct chief, and all the mem- 
bers of the royal household. From this moment he was considered as 
being of royal blood, inheriting all the privileges and iaamunities of 
one born in regular descent. 

That there might be no admixture of plebeian blood in the line of 
royal descent, the chief was absolutely forbidden to marry outside of 
the royal family. Or rather, although he was allowed a plurality of 
wives, none of his oflspring were considered eligible to the throne, save 
such as were born of a noble mother. It was a maxim cherished 
among them that '' if the mother be noble, the son must inherit nobil- 
ity to some extent, while if she be ignoble, there may not be a drop of 
royal blood in his veins," plainly intimating to what an extent the 
spirit of the seventh commandment was respected among them. 

The Indiahs expected from their Grand Sachem a nobler character 
and loftier deeds than from any other. As he was the hereditary head 
of the nation, so they demanded that he should excel in everything 
which constituted their beau ideal of a good Indian. If he met these 
high demands — if he showed himself brave in battle, successful in the 
hunt, sagacious in counsel, and energetic in the discharge of his execu- 



24

tive duties, lie was uniformly respected and beloved, and there was not 
a warrior in the whole tribe who would not gladly lay down his life for 
him, if it should become necessary. But if he were weak, cowardly, 
vascillating;, and lax in his discipline, he was universally despised, his 
authority fell into disrepute, and all the affairs of the tribe be.carae de- 
ranged. 

Although by the constitution under whose regime he was born, he 
inherited absolute power, nothing was rarer among the Aborigines 
than a despotic prince. His instincts taught him that it was better 
policy to conciliate the good will of his proud and haughty subjects, 
than to try to enforce unpopular measures. Hence he often consulted 
his cabinet, and in cases of great emergency he sometimes called to- 
gether the whole nation. This was usually a mere form, however, for 
if they had confidence in the wisdom of their ruler, they generally fell 
in with his suggestions, and brought all their energies and resources to 
the support of his views. 

The royal household was supported by a kind of voluntary tribute. 
No set tax was assessed, but every one brought to the hand of his chief 
such gifts as they were competent to impart, and such was the force of 
public opinion — more potent than that of many excisemen — that a 
delinquency in this matter was exceedingly rare, and sure to bring the 
delinquent into great contempt among all the members of his tribe. 
Thus the house of the sachem was abundantly supplied with the iteces- 
saries of life. The first fruits of the field, fish and game, necessary 
household utensils, the largest and most beautiful quills of the eagle 
or the porcupine, baskets elegantly wrought and curiously stained, 
bowls elaborately carved, and sometimes rich belts of wampum, skins 
of difterent wild animals or birds, constituted the unassessed revenue 
of this child of fortune and of power. When the chief received the 
gifts from his subjects, he accepted them very graciously, uttering 
many expressions of thanks, and saying some flattering and grateful 
word to the giver, at the same time bestowing some trifling present, 
which was received and treasured as a valuable memento of royal 
favor. 

MORAL CHARACTER. 

It is difticult for us, at this remote period, to have any just estimate 
of the morality of the aboriginal races. We have always been accus- 



PICTORIAL HISTORY OF CONNECTICUT. 25 

tomed to think and speak of them as a treacherous, lyin^ij, thieving;^ 
cruel and bloodthirsty race, hated by all civilized nations and abjured 
by all good men. But I can find no good reason to think that they 
were not as true to their unwritten code of right and wrong as we are 
to our statute books. We must not forget that cunning, treachery, 
cruelty and bloodthirstiness were esteemed virtues by their best men, 
when exercised towards an enemy. Measured by the Christian rule 
they come far short, but 1 think a careful examination would show 
that they generally came quite as near the fulfillment of their ac- 
knowledged code, as do their more enlightened successors. It is true 
that a lax code of morals, as measured by our standard, prevailed, but 
what else could have been expected of savages. Still, flagrant crimes 
were swiftly and terribly avenged. Some of the earlier writers assert 
that chastity was indeed a rare virtue, that the race, with scarcely an 
exception, was given to the most lascivious and promiscuous inter- 
course, while others declare that these crimes, as in more civilized na- 
tions, were the exception and not the rule. Where there is such dis- 
crepancy it is hard to form a correct opinion. Certain is it, however, 
that any detected dereliction in the conjugal obligation on the part of 
the wife was immediately punished by putting her away, or by a 
severe chastisement, and sometimes by a terrible deaili. In one word, 
they were savages, and this is sufficient to blind the eyes of certain 
sanctimonious persons to every shade of light which might appear in 
their character. Yes, they were savages, without revelation, without 
civilization, without mora! training, (except in the lowest degree,) with- 
out schools or even a written language, and it would be wrong to 
judge them by the rules of our church, and " damn them to everlast- 
ing fame," simply because without any of these means c)f culture or 
discipline they refuse to yield the perfect fruits of the divine law. On 
the whole we may say that the Indian races will compare ffivorably in 
the moral scale with any other savage races on the globe. Abstractly 
and measured by our higher law they may appear vile and detestable, 
but comparatively, and weighed in a just balance, they are far from ig- 
noble. 

DISEASES, AND THEIR TREATMENT. 

There is a tradition among all the races of the original proprietors 
of our soil, that formerly " the Indians were as thick as the leaves of 



2G PICTORIAL HISTORY OF CONNECTICUT. 

the forest," and inhabited every nook and territory of this vast coun- 
try, but that a great many moons before the whites visited them, the 
Great Spirit became offended with his red children, and sent a terrible 
pestilence,* which swept off, in some places, whole tribes, leaving not 
one individual alive to tell the story of their fate, and greatly depopu- 
lating other portions of the land. That from this time the race has 
been passing away, according to the prediction of the Great Spirit, 
who sent his angel to thus pour out the vials of his hot wrath upon 
their guilty heads. The prediction seems likely to be fulfilled. Every 
year the races are diminishing and fast disappearing before the onward 
march of civilization. The inevitable cause of this decrease, we can- 
not here stop to consider. That there is a providential hand in it, 
seems not to admit of gainsaying; but this aspect of the case, also, 
rich as it is in material for reflection, must be passed over as not coming 
within the scope of our purpose. 

The diseases of the Indians were few, but mostly of the inflamma- 
tory kind. Consumption was then, as now, the terror of New Eng- 
land. It was computed that more Indians fell a prey to this insidious 
but terrible disease, than to all others besides. To this were to be 
added, pleurisies, acute rheumatisms, quinsies, fevers, and other forms 
of inflammations. These were generally rapid in their development, 
and reached their crisis in a few days and sometimes hours. Even 
consumption took on th^ rapid type, and a few weeks served to bring 
its victim to the grave. Paralysis, apoplexy, and all kindred diseases 
were unknown, or so extremely rare as to have never attracted the no- 
tice of the earlier observers. We have spoken of epidemics. The 
small pox seems to have been the dreaded scourge of the Indians. 
This came by long intervals, but when it did make its appearance it 
carried dismay and consternation into every bosom. Their utter igno- 
rance of the true manner of treating this disease, together with their 
excessively filthy habits of living, caused them to fall an easy prey to 
the destroyer. As we have seen, it was not uncommon for a whole 
tiibe to be swept off by one visitation. In other cases only a few 
wretched beings were left to carry the sad intelligence to the neighbor- 
ing tribes. 

All the New England tribes were the victims of scrofula, as is indi- 
cated in the number of the victims to consumption — one of the com- 

* Supposed to be the small pox. 



PICTORIAL HISTORY OF CONNECTICUT. 27 

inonest as well as deadliest forms of its manifestation. It likewise ex- 
hibited itself in ulcers, especially after the introduction of the accursed 
" firewater " among them. Toothache, also, was a very common form 
of its manifestation, and Roger Williams declares that with whatever 
fortitude an Indian would endure torture and pain, a fit of the tooth- 
ache was sure to upset his equanimity, and he would cry like a baby, 
rolling on the ground in the most manifest agony. 

The curse of civilization had not laid upon the Indian women 
the pangs of parturition, which appertain to what are called the more 
elevated classes of society. They continued all their out-door and 
their severer labor up to the very hour of child-birth. The early his- 
torians relate that it was by no means uncommon for a woman to be 
seized with the pains of childbearing while upon a journey, when she 
would quietly turn aside, often entirely alone, and in a few hours over- 
take the company with her newly born babe wrapped in a skin and 
strapped to her back, resuming her place in the caravan as if nothing 
had happened. 

Whatever we may now-a-days hear of the skill of " Indian doctors," 
nothing is more certain than that there was an exceedingly minute 
amount of medical knowledge among them. They had no means of 
studying either the structure or economy of the human body, and 
their whole pharmacopia consisted in a few simples culled from the 
forest or mountain side. They had discovered that lobelia acted as an 
emetic, and thoroughwort and other bitter herbs were laxative in their 
effects, and this was nearly the extent of their materia medica. Sweat- 
ing was a common mode of treatment in all attacks of an inflamma- 
tory kind. This was eft'ected, generally, in the following manner: — a 
pit was dug in the ground, and filled with heated stones, on which cer- 
tain green or moistened herbs were laid, which were then sprinkled 
with water. The patient, wrapped closely in skins, was then made to 
stand over this vapor bath until a copious perspiration was induced. 
W^hen this was at its hight, large quantities of cold water were thrown 
over him, and he was wrapped in warm, dry skins, and" put to bed. If 
a stream of water were at hand, the patient was made to plunge be- 
neath its surface several times. This often occurred in mid-winter. 
There can be no doubt but that this mode of treating many of the 
acute diseases to which the Indians were liable, was judicious and 
salutary. 



28 PICTORIAL HISTORY OF CONNECTICUT. 

But they did not always depend on these outward and physical appli- 
ances. In their ignorance and superstition they believed that the earth 
and all its inhabitants were subject to the infestation of evil spirits, and 
when the disease resisted their simple remedies, they resorted to spir- 
itual appliances. We have spoken of the priestly order recognized 
among all tribes of American Indians. But the mission of the priest 
was a very difterent one from that which pertains to the sacerdotal or- 
der among civilized people. It was no mediator between the human 
soul and its Ci-eator ; it ministered only to the physical necessities. It 
propitiated the great spirit and all lesser evil spirits, but only to avert 
evil from the body or the state. Hence, when the usual remedies 
failed to conquer the disease, the services of the priest were called for. 
In order to secure these services a douceur was expected — the powwow- 
must be first propitiated and afterwards the malignant gods, and the 
length and earnestness of his incantations were measured by the 
weight of the bribe. These preliminaries being settled, the powwow 
arrayed himself in the most frightful skins of wild beasts, painted his 
face in the most diabolic fashion, and when he thought himself suffi- 
ciently horrible to frighten away the foul fiends, he proceeded to the 
house of his jjatient, and without uttering a sound, seated himself in 
the middle of the floor, and remained in utter silence for a full quarter 
and sometimes a half hour, the friends of the sick person sitting around 
him in solemn silence. He began his incantations by gently rocking 
his body forward and backward, accompanied with low and indistinct 
mutteringsorchantings, occasionally reaching his hand and turning his 
eyes upward, as if invoking the Deity. He usually accompanied hiu]- 
self with a regular beat on a small drum. Gradually raising his voice, 
and increasing his motions, he rose by degrees until his voice came 
forth in the most unearthly yells, and his gestures became absolutely 
frightful. This bawling, gesticulating and grimacing he continued un- 
til utter exhaustion succeeded, and he was compelled to stop for want 
of breath. Resting for a few minutes, he commenced again in the 
same low manner, and soon rose to his former violence. During the 
performance of these rites, the sick person and all the spectators were 
violently exercised, and from time to time would give an approving 
grunt to encourage the principal actor in these orgies. When the 
powwow thought he had sufficiently propitiated the ofiending deities, 
or earned the full amount of his fee, he would suddenly cease his ex- 



riCTOHIAL HISTORY OF CONNECTICUT. 29 

ertions, and going to the bed of the sufterer, would breathe several 
times in his face and on those parts of the body where the disease 
seemed to be concentrated, and then leave the house in the same 
silent and stealthy manner in which he entered it. The success of this 
treatment depended, doubtless, on the amount of faith in the patient 
and the peculiar character of the disease. A highly nervous tempera- 
ment, which, among the unintelligent, is often accompanied by a large 
amount of suDcrstitious belief in invisible agencies might become so 
oreatly excited as to produce a shock sufficiently forcible to break up 
the disease, and cause the powers of nature to rally in his favor, and 
assist in his restoration to health. 

DEATH, BURIAL, MOURNING, ETC. 

When disease had given over dust to dust, and the spirit of their 
friend had departed, the relatives seated themselves around the corpse 
on the floor in perfect silence for several hours, with their hair dis- 
heveled and their heads bowed in solemn sorrow. Not a word was 
uttered, and the only manifestation of grief visible was a slow rock- 
ing of the body to and fro in a monotony of woe. For a day or two 
the bereaved received their friends and acquaintances. On their first 
approach, they would gently stroke the cheek or head of the mourner 
and utter some consolatory word, such as " peace," "' be of good 
cheer," "hold up your heart," or any like expression of comfort, the 
mourners responding in a short grunt indicative of their appreciation 
of the well meant condolence. 

After a day or two, according to the state of the thermometer, two 
or three of the principal men of the village came in, and after deco- 
rating the corpse with anklets and bracelets, and a necklace of wam- 
pum, swathed the body in mats ready to be borne to its final resting 
place. Meanwhile a shallow grave had been prepared with their rude 
wooden dibbles, the bottom of whi(;h had been covered with sticks. 
One of the grave and reverend undertakers then threw the body over 
his shoulder and bore it to the grave, the household and all the rela- 
tives of the family following, with every sign and sound of woe. Ar- 
rived at the grave they threw themselves on the ground around it, 
when the corpse was deposited, generally in a sitting posture, in the 
new made grave. Then commenced a general outburst of grief. The 



30 PICTORIAL HISTORY OF CONNECTICUT. 



men would howl and moan, the women wail and shriek, plucking out 
their hair by han.ifulls, and sometimes lacerating their flesh with 
knives or sharp sticks, while the tears which streamed down tlieir 
blackened faces and fell upon their robes in liquid soot, showed j^Iainl}' 
enough that their grief was genuine. A few things were then depos- 
ited in the grave to help the departed spirit on his journey to the 
hunting grounds of tlie Spirit-land — such as his bow and quiver, a 
bowl and knife, with such trinkets as the deceased had shown a 
particular fondness for while in life, together with some slight pro- 
visions for his immediate necessities, for he was expected to be able 
soon to furnish himself with all needed food — and then the grave was 
filled. A fresh burst of lamentations succeeded this shutting out for- 
ever from the sight the remains of him who had been so dear in life. 
His best garments were now hung on some convenient tree for the use 
of the departed, should he have occasion to use them, where they were 
destined to remain until reduced to their primitive elements by the in- 
fluence of the changing atmosphere. They were considered sacred, 
and no Indian, friend or foe, would have laid a sacrilegious finger upon 
them on any consideration. 

The Indians manifested a good deal of affection for their dead, and 
sacredly consecrated a burial place in every village. These places 
were always approached with a feeling of awe and reverence, and for 
many months after the burial of a friem.l the grave was daily resorted 
to and watered by the tears of the bereaved, and many little tokens 
of love were deposited, from time to time, upon the grave. Some- 
times a delicate morsel of food, such as the deceased was partial to, 
was placed there, supposing it might be useful to him in his spiritual 
wanderings in limbo. These were, of course, generally removed by 
tlieir dogs or some beast of prey, while the simple minded Indian 
never doubted but that it had fallen into the hands for which it was 
originally intended. Whatever else was left there remained inviolate 
until it mingled with the dust, for one of these children of the forest 
would sooner have plucked out his own right eye than to have been 
guilty of the atrocious sacrilege of removing them. 

When a great man passed away, or the son of a great sachem de- 
ceased, the funeral ceremonies were conducted on a much grander 
scale, and large sacrifices were offered to appease the great Spirit, or 
to propitiate his regard for the departed. Sometimes the body was 



PICTORIAL HISTORY OF CONNECTICUT. 31 

decorated witli every costly garment and trinket whieli beloiio-ed to 
the living, and laid out in great form and state for several days, in the 
center of the wigwam, where it was visited by all who desirtd to look 
once more upon the face of him with whom they had been so famil- 
iar in life. Every one brought some slight gift and laid it on a mat 
beside the corpse. After it had lain as long as was prudent, it was 
covered high with the most combustible material, such as pitch knots, 
and the whole ignited, amidst such yells and shrieks, and wailings, as 
only North American savages can produce, wliile the body, with the 
wigwam and everything in it, was reduced to a mass of charred 
brands and ashes. The bones, if any were left, and if none, the ashes, 
were carefully collected together and thrown hurriedly into a shallow 
grave, and being hastily covered, were left to mingle with their com- 
mon dust. 



I believe that I cannot better fill this section than to transcribe to 
these pages the well condensed account given by J. W. De Forest' 
Esq., in liis valuable "History of tlie Indians of Connecticut," a book 
to which I have been considerably indebted in my preparation of this 
portion of my work. From the nomadic character of the N. A. In- 
dian, it is perfectly natural that slight shades of dift'erence should ex- 
ist between distant tribes in the minor points of their theology; buf 
the cardinal doctrines are wonderfully coincident between the widest 
extremes of residence — extremes which made utterly unintelligible to 
each other their common language. 

"If is certain, however," says Mr. De Forest, " that they believed 
in one great and invisible deity, who was variously known, in different 
tribes, by the names of Kiehtan, Woonand and Cautantowit. He 
lived far away to the southwest, and concerned himself little with the 
affairs of men in this life. His nature was benevolent, and it was 
through his gift, the Indians said, that they first obtained their corn 
and beans. But, as they feared him not, he received little of their 
veneration ; ard their old men told the English colonists that the wor- 
ship of the good Kiehtan had declined among them, even within their 
remembrance. 

"They paid much more respect to Hobbamocko, the spirit of evil, 
• the author of all human plagues and calamities. From the fear which 



32 PICTORIAL HISTORY OF CONNECTICUT. 

his supposed power and malignjint disposition inspired he received 
great veneration : many dances were performed in his honor, and 
many sacrifices offered to appease his wrath. 

"But there was likewise a race of inferior deities, who might be re- 
garded as the spirits or geniuses of various persons and objects. The 
Narragansetts repeated to Roger Williams the names of tliirty-seven 
of these manittos^ each being an object of worship, and each bearing a 
significant name. There was a god of the north, a god of the south, 
a god of the east, a god of the west, a god of the house, a god of 
women, and a god of children. The sun, the moon, the sea, the fire, 
and many other things were believed to be animated by spirits; and 
each of them, as circumstances seemed to require, might be made an 
object of sacrifice and adoration. Roger Williams once disputed with 
some Narragansetts about the existence of Yotaanit, their god of fire. 
To his arguments they replied : 'What! is it possible that this fire 
is not a divinity ? It comes out of a cold stone ; it saves us from 
dying of hunger ; if a single spark falls into the dry wood it con- 
sumes the whole country. Can anything wliich is so powerful be 
otlier than a deity V 

" But, althougli the Indians belived in, and worshiped so great a 
number of divinities, they seem never to have attempted to represent 
any of them in a substantial and visible form. Singular stones, bear- 
ing a faint resemblance to the human head and bust, have indeed 
been found, and have sometimes been designated as Indian gods. 
They are, however, evidently the productions of nature; and, as they 
were not shaped by the hand of man, there remains not even the pre- 
sumption that they were ever the objects of his worship. 

"When the Indians were questioned as to their creation, some of 
the inland tribes easily disposed of the subject by answering that they 
were descended from the inhabitants of the seacoast. As to when 
or how the inhabitants of the seacoast came into being they pretended 
not to sav. Another story was, that two young squaws were once 
wading or swimming in the sea ; the foam touched their bodies and 
they became pregnant ; one brought forth a boy and the other a girl ; 
the two women then died, and their chiUlren became tlie progenitors 
of the human race. Roger Williams says that the Narragansetts 
would allow, in general, that God made all things; but still insisted 
that the skies, and earth, and people of England, were made by the 



PICTORIAL HISTORY OF CONNECTICUT.

English God, while they, with their skies and earth, were made by 
their own gods. They also told him that Cautautowit, the great god 
of the southwest, made a man and woman of stone ; but, not liking 
them, he broke them in pieces, and made another pair, of wood, from 
whom all human beings were descended. 

" If the Indians were favored with any good fortune, they acknowl- 
edged it as coming from the deity. If any calamity or accident over- 
took them, although no more than a common fall, they were accus- 
tomed to observe that God was angry with them. If a man even had 
a dream which seemed to portend misfortune, he would rise in the 
darkness and pray that the threatened calamity might be averted. 
Williams relates that an Indian child having died during the night, 
its father, on discovering his loss at daybreak, called up the fiimily. 
All began to weep and lament, while the bereaved parent exclaimed 
with many tears, ' God, thou hast taken away my child. Thou art 
angry with me. turn away thy wrath and spare the rest of my 
children.' 

" On another occasion the same author, while gazing with unavailino' 
pity upon a young Indian who was dying of a wound, observed that 
in his agonies he often called upon Muckachiickwand, the god of chil- 
dren. The natives who stood round informed him that many years 
before, Muckachuckwand had appeared to the young man in a dream, 
and told him to call upon him for help when he was in distress. Thus 
the poor Indian, in his bereavements and his dying hour, called for 
mercy and assistance to those gods in whom he had been taught to be- 
lieve, 

"They held that the soul existed after death, and that the spirits of 
the good would go to the house of Kiehtan, for away in the warm re- 
gions of the southwest. There they would be delivered from all sor- 
row and preserved from all misfortune ; and they would enjoy pleasures 
similar to those which are to be met with here, only in exhaustless 
abundance, and in complete perfection. The wicked, too, would go to 
the door of Kiehtan and knock for admittance ; but, upon his telling 
them to go away, they would be obliged to wander abroad forever in a 
state of horror and restless discontent. The Indians placed their 
heaven in the southwest, because the wind from that quarter is the 
warmest and pleasautest that blows in this climate, and usually brings 
fair weather in its train. 



34 PICTORIAL HISTORY OF CONNECTICUT. 



" The soul was called by the Narragansetts cowwewonck, a word de- 
rived from sleep ; ' because,' said they, ' it works and continues in mo- 
tion while the body sleeps.' They had also another name for it, signi- 
fying 'a clear sight or discernment.' 

" All over New England, and, indeed, throughout all the region 
covered by the United States and Canada, existed that class of priest- 
hood whom I have already mentioned, the powwoios. The individuals 
who composed this profession were usually devoted to it from child- 
hood, and were tried by painful ceremonies, by fasting and by want 
of sleep. Their object in these austerities was to attain to a converse 
with the gods; yet it was not every one, they imagined, who made 
this attempt, that succeeded ; and, of those who did succeed, some 
were fur inferior in influence and familiarity witb supernatural beings 
to others. To confirm the idea of their inspiration, the powwows 
seem to have practiced some of the arts of juggling or natural magic. 
A number of the tricks whicb they thus performed were so wonderful 
and seemingly unaccountable, that many of the English colonists 
verily believed them to be accomplished by the special assistance of 
Satan. But, more than this, the powwows pretended to fall into 
trances, to be favored with visions which foretold future events, and 
to behold fearful and mysterious apparitions of the deiiy. 

" It is probable that these men deliberately imposed many times 
upon the credulity of their countrymen ; but it is also probable that 
they often believed themselves to be seized and impelled by the irre- 
sistible force of some supernatural impulse. It is unquestionable that, 
under the influence of superstition, the human mind may work itself, 
by its own eff"orts, into such a degree of excitement, as to dethrone 
reason for a time and wrest from it its power over the body. The 
actor, in such a case, will foam at the mouth, fall writhing and strug- 
gling on the ground, and even remain for a time in complete insensi- 
bility to external objects. The howling dervishes of Turkey, the 
pagan priests of the South Sea Islands, and the religious enthusiasts 
who have sometimes appeared in the Christian world, are all exam- 
ples of this fact, and may be compared with the Indian powwows of 
Connecticut."

LITERATURE. 

The North American Indians had no written language. They were 
in the habit of transmitting important events in a hieroglyphical de- 
scription, either on the well tanned skins of wild animals or the outer 
membrane of the white birch. These were done Avith a soft stick, 
chewed into a broom atone end, and dipped in the brilliant colors they 
were able to extract from the various earths and vegetables at hand. 
These were nothing more than rude pictures of men and animals, with 
such implements as were used in the scene attempted to be described. 
Their language was copious, however, and susceptible of being uttered 
with extreme force. There has been considerable dispute as to 
whether the same language prevailed all over our country among the 
widely spread aboriginal tribes ; but it is now pretty unanimously con- 
ceded that it is one and the same, with no greater variance than may 
be readily accounted for by the remoteness of the tribes and other 
natural causes. Gookin, whose early advantages for obtaining the 
necessary knowledge to constitute him a judge in the matter, tells us 
that the dialects of the New England tribes, and the Mohawks, the 
then remotest western tribe known, were not more unlike than those 
of the remote shires of England. There were, undoubtedly, many 
words peculiar to each tribe, or region of country, but the structure of 
the languages was an unit ; and we are filled with astonishment that 
the unity of concreteness should have been so perfectly preserved, 
where there were no written characters to express their sounds. 

The vocabulary of Indian words was very full — there being often 
many words to express the same meaning; and although he expressed 
himself with extreme sententiousness, there was no lack of words and 
no paucity of ideas. Some of the speeches of their great men are 
remarkable for their close reasoning, clear conception of the subject 
in hand, and eloquent application to the occasion. Some of the 
speeches of Red Jacket, Tecumseh, Uncas and others, will compare 
favorably in these respects with those of the most masterly minds in 
past or modern times. And since this language has been subjected 
to written forms, it is found to be quite elegant in its construction, 
and as easily subjected to the l;nvs of grammar as that of any other 
tongue. Heckewalder says, " the regularity with which its words 



36 PICTORIAL HISTORY OF CONNECTICUT. 

were conjugated tlirougli all the variations of the negative, causative 
and other forms, is truly astonishing." Indeed all the early scholars 
of the colonies assert that the structure of the aboriginal language 
was such as to render it capable of being reduced to great precision 
of expression, and so copious as to meet whatever demand should be 
made upon it. It was suited alike to poetry, declamaiion, argument, 
scorn or ridicule, however unmusical in its intonation to ears not 
accustomed to its sharp and guttural tones. 

Like all otber languages, it had its peculiarities ; one of whi(?h was 
the blending of a sentence into a single word, thus rendering the phrase 
into a stenograpliic word, taking less time both in speaking and wri- 
ting it. Thus, according to the author just quoted, a little pappoose, 
while playing with its dog, might utter the endearing phrase, " k 
wulit ivitchgat schis," thus, kuUgartsdds, which being interpreted, 
signifies "Thy pretty little paw." Here are four distinct and perfect 
words kneaded into one, perfectly expressive, and conveying all the 
meaning of the entire sentence. This will account for the enormous 
length of some Indian words, and shows that it must require great pa- 
tience in the investigation of, and long acquaintance with, its peculiar 
construction, to obtain a complete mastery over it. 

It is to be regretted that a thorough study of the great North Amer- 
ican tongue has never been accomplished. The early settlers were 
both too much occupied to give it the necessary time, and too deeply 
tinctured with the prevailing prejudices against the race, to have done 
the subject anything like justice, while the inducements offered to 
subsequent students in this branch of literature, were far too small to 
induce that thorough, expressive and practical examination so neces- 
sary to its perfect reconstruction. Like a vapor which covers the bo- 
som of the earth, the race is fast passing away. Wherever civilization 
plants her foot, the track of the red man disappears. The smoke of 
his wigwam curls no longer among the to])s of the stately forests, the 
whiz of his swiftly speeding arrow is heard no longer through their 
thick branches, even the fierce war-whoop no more disturbs the stilj 
echoes of many a widely extending State, where but yesterday they 
were the lordly and sole occupants. To-morrow the besom will have 
passed over the remainder of their once proud domain, and the North 
American Indian will exist only in history, song and tradition. A 
feeling of sadness creeps over our spirits as we see these races melting

away before our encroacbing tread, like snow before tbe growing sum- 
mer; but we are reconciled when we reflect that the almost infinite 
resources of this immense continent, destined, if we are true to our- 
selves, to become the seat of universal empire, would have lain forever 
dormant in the womb of time, and utter barbarism would have reigned 
where industry, intelligence, civilization and Christianity are now 
working out the world's great problem, and the perfect elevation of 
the human race. 

I shall close this section with two specimens of the Indian tongue, 
the first being a JVarraghansett rendering of the Lord's Prayer, and 
taken from Eliot's bible. It is as follows : 

" Co shunongone ilie suck cuck abot. Na naw ui e coom shaio ims 
nuskspe coue so lounk. Kuck sudamong peamook. Ecook Alooioomo- 
nion ukkee tawti ee ook ungoiu. A geescuck mee se nam eyew kee suck

The second is also a rendering of the Lord's Prayer in the Mohegan 
language, and for which we are indebted to Governor Saltonstall, who 
obtained it in the year 1721. A literal translation of this prayer fol- 
lows :

be forgiven evil doings of ours, as we would forgive wrong doers to us. 
Not guide us into snares, but help us to escape from evil. Thine thy 
powerful kingdom, thine the strength, thine the greatest glory. Al- 
ways, always me wish so.''

PICTORIAL HISTORY OF CONNECTICUT. 



TRADITION. 

Altliougli -without a written language, the traditions of the Indians 
were many and ricli, serving to illustrate their history far into the un- 
certain past. Whether the Indian race descended from some of the 
wandering tribes of the Jews, or not — and I will not exhaust the pa- 
tience as well as the time of the reader, in following the order of many 
who have gone before me, in adding to the mist and darkness resting 
on this mooted Cjuestion, but leave it in its inscrutable intangibility — 
certain it is, that their ideas of the creation of the race are so remark- 
ablv similar as to induce the belief that there must have been a com- 
mon origin for the Ilebrew and Indian tribes of this country. The 
Hebrew faith teaches us that God formed the first pair out of the dust 
of the earth ; the Indian that the Great Spirit made the first couple 
out of stone, and that not pleased with the work of his hand, he broke 
them in pieces and made another pair out of some kind of wood, and 
that from this wooden pair came the whole race. This, indeed, is the 
great idea of the creation of the race, entertained by all the nations 
of the earth ; the most natural, certainly, and one most likely to sug- 
gest itself to the mind of barbarism. 

But there are a great many local traditions among the Indians, and 
the localities of the events described in them have been carefully pre- 
served and handed down from generation to generation. Some of 
these are extremely interesting and full of instruction. I had intend- 
ed giving some of these in the present volume, but shall be obliged to 
defer it until the next issue of the work. 

CIIUISTIANITY AMONG THE INDIANS. 



The efforts of the early settlers of our country to Christianize the 
Indians, must be said to have proved a complete failure. A few scatter- 
ing individuals were converted to the true faith, but the result, in com- 
parison with the efforts made, is scarcely worthy to be mentioned. This 
result has excited great surprise among theologians and historians, and 
these writers have gone far and wide to find a reason for it. It lias 
very generally been attributed to the natural repugnance of the In- 
dian heart, and some unaccountable derangement of their intellectual 



PICTORIAL HISTORY OF CON>!ECTICUT, 39 

organization, which would not allow them to comprehend tlie simple 
doctrines of the gospel. The theologians have thus found an argu- 
ment for those very dogmas which were so repulsive to the simplicity 
of the savage mind, viz : the doctrine of total depravity and election, 
as understood by the divines of that period. The real cause of the 
want of success in the attempt to christianize the Indians, it seems to 
me is very patent. It is two-fold. First, the demoralizing effect of 
the introduction of liquor among them, and the example of a set of 
men dissolute and unprincipled in their lives; and second, the direct 
presentation to their minds of those peculiar doctrines of the Church, 
as they are called, about which the whole Church were then at logger- 
heads, and had been distracted and divided ever since the Reformation 
represented by the two great champions, Luther and Calvin. The 
poor Indian, in his best estate, could never have comprehended these 
dogmas, but when besotted by bad rum, and debauched by vile and 
unprincipled men, who had no other idea but to push their personal 
fortunes at any cost or hazard, he was not only struck with the absurdity 
of the pretensions of men who had so little of corresponding virtue 
in their daily life, but disgusted that so extraordinary a demand should 
be made upon them. The Indian character, it seems to me, was ad- 
mirably adapted to the reception of our benign religion. xMl its an- 
tecedents favored its introduction among these excitable tribes. They 
had, naturally, a religious cast of temperament, and their views of the 
character and attributes of the Deity were not more debased or cruel 
than some phases of the Hebraistic faith. Had a company of simple- 
minded, whole-souled missionaries, imbued with the sole purpose of 
saving these debased tribes from error and spiritual death , actuated by 
no sordid purposes of acquisition, and setting before them constantly 
the all-powerful example of a life of love and purity, — had such a band 
of Christian teachers early landed on these shores, and devoted them- 
selves to the duty of expounding the grand but simple doctrines of the 
Cross of Christ, it strikes me that they would have found that the seed 
they had so abundantly scattered had sprung up and borne fruit unto 
everlasting life, some ten, some an hundred fold. 

But notwithstanding the almost universal rejection of Christianity 
by the aboriginal races, there were striking exceptions. There were 
many who embraced the Christian faith, and lived to give good evidence 
that its spirit had fidly taken possession of their hearts, and who died 



40

under its support, rejoicing in the blessed hopes it inspires. A few 
there were Avho became men of mark, and who themselves became the 
teachers of their brethren. We give in our Biographical Department 
some account of one of these, Samson Occum, -who became quite em- 
inent as a minister of the gospel. He established a Church among his 
Mohegan brethren, which continues, I believe, to the present day. As 
late as ISS^ tliere was quite a body of believers belonging to this 
Church, and through the generosity of a few friends to the cause, a 

neat little Chapel was erected 

1^ and consecrated to the use of 

the Indians and their friends,

g powerful tribe of tlie Mohe- 
gans, is fast dwindling away, 
and in a few years there will 
not be left one full-blooded In- 
dian to testify to the existence 
of his race. The Mohegan 
blood runs in the veins of 
many families, however, by in- 
termarriage, and many gene- 
rations must pass away before it shall become utterly extinct.

ANECDOTES OF INDIANS. 

We shall bring this chapter of our history to a close, by giving a 
few illustrations of Indian character. These we have gathered princi- 
pally from Drake, De Forest, and others who have written the Red- 
man's history : 



FORTUNES OF A YOUNG MOHEGAN WARRIOR. 

" Among the prisoners of the Mohegans was an active young war- 
rior, who had distinguished himself by his courage, and whom they 
demanded permission to put to death by torture. The English con- 
sented ; "partly," says Hubbard, " lerst their denial should disoblige 



PICTORIAL HlSTOItY OF CONNECTICUT. 41 

their Indian fiiends of whom they had hitely made so much use ; partly 
that they might have ocuhir demonstration of the savage, barbarous 
cruelty of the heatlien." The young captive, unappalled by the 
dreadful fate which awaited him, stood up after the fashion of Indian 
warriors, and boasted his exploits. " I have shot nineteen English 
with my gun. I loaded it for a twentieth. I could not meet another, 
and let it fly at a Mohegan. I killed him and completed my number. 
Now I am fully satisfied." 

TheMohegan's formed a circle, and placed the victim in the center 
where all could gaze upon his tortures. They deliberately cut round 
one of Ills fingers at the joint, where it united with the hand, and then 
broke it ofi". They cut, in a similar manner, another and another, 
until only the stump of the hand was left. The blood flowed in streams 
sometimes spirting out a yard from the wounds. Some of the Eng- 
lish wept at the horrid sight, but no one interfered. The victim shrunk 
not from the knife, and showed no signs of anguish. " How do you 
like the war?" tauntingly asked his tormentors. " I like it well," he 
said ; " I find it as sweet as Englishmen do their sugar. " Thev cut 
oft' his toes as they had done his fingers, and then made him dance 
round the circle till he was weary. At last they broke the bones of 
his legs. He sank upon the ground, and sat in silence until they 
dashed out his brains. " 

A PEQUOT ACHILLES. 

" One of the most famous of the native adherents of the English 
was a Pequot, partly of Narragansett blood, called Major Symon. This 
man's physical strength and recklessness of danger were said to be 
truly astonishing. Fighting seemed to be his recreation. During the 
war he was seldom at home more than four or five days together, being 
enga'ged the rest of the time in warlike expeditions. It was reported 
that he had with his own hand killed or taken above threescore of the 
enemy. Once he came alone upon a band of hostile Indians as they 
lay at ease under a steep bank. He leaped down among them, killed 
some, put the rest to flight, and carried away prisoners. On another 
of his expeditions he fell asleep, and while sleejjing, dreamed that In- 
dians were coming upon him. He awoke Aviththe dream, and getting 
up, discovered some of the hostile warriors approaching his resting- 
place. He presented his gun and they stopped : he then turned and 



42 



PICTORIAL HISTORY OF CONNECTICUT. 



made his escape, althoiigli he was very weary and his pursuers were 
numerous. Towards the close of the war, he was traveling with two 
other Indians and Thomas Stanton, to Seaconet. On their inarch they 
learned that some of the enemy were near by, upon which the three 
Indians left Stanton and went in search of them. They found the 
camp, but the warriors of the company were gone, and had left behind 
them only a few young men, women and cliildren. These surrendered 
to Major Symon and his companions, who led them away at a rapid 
pace. One old man was unable to keep up with the party, and was 
allowed to lag behind on his promising that he would follow. In the 
meantime the warriors had returned to camp ; and, having taken up 
the trail, soon overtook the old man, and learned from him what had 
happened. They speedily came up with the three adventurous war- 
riors, killed one of them, and liberated ihe captives. M'ajor Symon 
and his remaining companion stood at bay, and the former offered to 
fight any five of the assailants if they would lay aside their guns, and 
use only their hatchets. They feared his strength and dexterity too 
much to accept the challenge, and advanced on him in a body. He 
fired upon them, and, rushing furiously forward, broke through their 
line and escaped, followed by his companion. After hostilities were 
over in Massachusetts, this Pequot Achilles joined an expedition 
against the Indians of Maine and New Hampshire, where for nearly 
two years more the flame of war continued to smoulder on. No par- 
ticulars of his achievements there, however, are known, nor whether 
he fell with the hatchet in his hand, or returned home to die in the 
midst of despised and detested peace." 

ORIGIN OF sachem's HEAD. 

A traditionary story of Uncas pursuing, overtaking and executing 
a Pequot sachem, as given in the Historical Collections, may not be 
unqualifiedly true. It was after Mystic fight, and is as follows : Most of 
the English forces pursued the fugitives by water, westward, while some 
followed by land with Uncas and his Indians. At a point of land in 
Guilford, they came upon a great Pequot sachem, and a few of his 
men. Knowing they were pursued, they had gone into an adjacent 
peninsula, " hoping their pursuers would have passed by them. But 
Uncasknaw Indian's craft, and ordered some of his men to search that 



PICTORIAL HISTORY OF CONNECTICUT. 43 

point. The Pequots perceiving that they were pursued, swam over the 
mouth of the harbor, which is narrow. But they were waylaid, and 
taken as they landed. The sachem was sentenced to be shot to death. 
Uncas shot him with an arrow, cut off his head, and stuck it up in the 
crotch of a large oak-tree near the harbor, where the skull remained 
for a great many years." This was the origin of Sachem's Head, by 
which name the harbor of Guilford is well known to coasters. 

Dr. Mather records the expedition of the English, but makes no 
mention of Uncas. He says, they set out from Saybrook fort, and 
"sailed westward in pursuit of the Pequots, who were fled that way. 
Sailing along to the westward of Mononowuttuck, the wind not an- 
swering their desires, they cast anchor." " Some scattering Pequots 
were then taken and slain, as also the Pequot sachem, before expressed, 
had his head cut oft^ whence that place did bear the name of Sachem's 
Head," 

anecdote of oweneco. 

" Oweneco died in 1715, aged, it is probable, about seventy or sev- 
enty-five years. The brave warrior who, in his youth and early man- 
hood, fought gallantly against the Pocomtocks, the Pokanokets and 
Narragansetts, became in his old age a mere vagabond. With his 
blanket, his gun, his squaw, and a pack on his back, lie used often to 
wander about the settlements adjacent to Mohegan. At his old friends 
and acquaintances lie was generally made welcome, and established 
himself, during his stay, in the kitchen, or some of the out-houses. To 
strangers, who were unable to understand his imperfect English, he 
sometimes presented a doggerel petition which had been written for 
him by a settler named Bushnell. 

" Oneco, kinfr, his queen doth bring. 
To beg a little food ; 
As they go along his friends among 
To try how kind, how good. 

" Some pork, some beef, for their relief, 
And if you can't spare bread, 
She'll thank you for pudding, as they go a gooding, 
And carry it on her head." 

The last line refers to an Indian mode of carrying burdens, by a

metomp, or bag, hanging down t'le back, and supported by a sti'ap 
passing over the forehead." 

INDIAN MONEY, WAMPUM BELTS, ETC. 

"\Ve get .the following quaint description of the Indian currency 
from Drake. It is taken originally from " Lawson's account of the 
Carolinas." It is as fuUovvs : 

" Their money," he says, " is of different sorts, but all made of shells, 
which are found on the coast of Carolina, being very large and hard, 
and difficult to cut. Some English smiths have tried to drill this sort 
of shell money, and thereby thought to get an advantage, but it proved 
so hard that nothing could be gained ;" and Morton^ in his New Eng- 
lish Canaan, says that, although some of the English in New England 
have tried "by example to make the like, yet none hath ever attained 
to any perfection in the composure of them, so but that the salvages 
have found a great difference to be in the one and the other ; and 
have known the counterfeit beads from those of their own making; 
and have, and doe slight them." Hence the conclusion of Jossclt/n, 
before extracted, namely, that "neither Jew nor devil could counter- 
feit the money of the Indians." Mr. Lawson continues: "The In- 
dians often make, of the same kind of shells as those of which their 
money is made, a sort of gorget, which they wear about their necks in 
a string ; so it hangs on their collar, whereon sometimes is engraven 
a cross, or some odd sort of figure which comes next in their fancy. 
There are other sorts valued at a doeskin, yet the gorgets will some- 
times sell for three or four buckskins ready dressed. There be others, 
that eight of them go readily for a doeskin ; but the general and cur- 
rent species of all the Indians in Carolina, and I believe, all over the 
continent, as ftir as the bay of Mexico, is that which we call Peak^ and 
Eonoak, but Peak more especially. This is that which at New York 
they call Wamjmin, and have used it as current money amongst the 
inhabitants for a great many years. Five cubits of this purchase a 
dressed doeskin, and seven or eight buy a dressed buckskin. To make 
this Peak it cost the English five or ten times as much as they could 
get for it, whereas it cost the Indians nothing, because they set no 
value upon their time, and therefore have no competition to fear, or 
that others will take its manufacture out of their hands. It is made 



nCrORIAL HISTORY OF CONNECTICUT. 45 

by grinding the pieces of shell upon stone, and is smaller than the 
small end of a tobacco-pipe, or large wheat straw. Four or five of 
these make an inch, and every one is to be drilled through and made 
as smooth as glass, and so strung, as beads are. A cubit, of the In- 
dian measure contains as much in length as will reach from the elbow 
to the end of the little finger. They never stand to question whether 
it be a tall man or a short one that measures it. If this warapum- 
peak be black or purple, as some part of that shell is, then it is twice 
the value. The drilling is the most diflicult and tedious part of the 
manufacture. It is done by sticking a nail in a cane or reed, which 
they roll upon their thighs with their right hand, while with their left 
they apply the bit of shell to the iron point. But especially in making 
their ronoak, four of which will scarce make one length of wampum. 
Such is the money of the Indians, with which you may buy all they 
have. It is their mammon, (as our money is to us,) that entices and 
persuades them to do anything, part with their captives or slaves, and, 
sometimes, even their wives' and daughters' chastity. With it they 
buy off murderers ; and whatever a man can do that is ill, this wam- 
pum will quit him of, and make him, in their opinion, good and vir- 
tuous, though never so black before." 

A REMARKABLE INDIAN BELT. 

"In 1V20 a circumstance occurred in Connecticut, which caused 
some little alarm among the settlers of the western part of the colony. 
It was discovered that a belt of wampum had been brought from some 
Indian place at the south called Tovvattowau, and, after arriving at 
Ammowaugs on the Hudson Eiver, had reached an Indian living at 
Horseneck in the town of Greenwich. From him it had been carried 
to Chickens or Sam Mohawk, in Reading; from thence to Potatuck 
or Newtown, and from there to Wyantenock or New Milford, where it 
stopped. The Assembly caused some inquiries to be made into the 
mystery, and an Indian named Tapauranawko testified that the belt 
was in token that, at each place where it was accepted, captive Indians 
would be received and sold. He said that it would be sent back to 
Ammowaugs, and from there to Towattowau, which was a great ways 
to the south, and was inhabited by a large tribe of Indians. The As- 
sembly resolved that no further notice should be taken of the belt; 



46 



PICTORIAL HISTORY OF CONNECTICUT. 



that tiie Indians should be directed to send it back whence it came ; 
and should be charged not to receive such presents in future without 
giving notice to the magistrates." 

ANOTHER BELT, AND CURIOUS INCIDENT. 



The redoubtable Capt. Church, after he had killed Philip, was for- 
tunate enough to take prisoner Annaivon, one of Philip's most saga- 
cious chiefs, and successor to liim in command of the Wampanoags. 
They had encamped for the night. "When supper was over, Cap- 
tain Church set his men to watch, telling them that if they would let 
him sleep two hours, they should sleep all the rest of the night, he 
not having slept any for 36 hours before ; but after laying a half hour, 
and feeling no disposition to sleep, from the momentous cares upon 
his mind, — for, as Dr. Young says in the Revenge, 

"The dead alone, in such a niglit, can rest," — 

he looked to see if his watch were at their posts, but they were all 
fast asleep. Annawon felt no more like sleeping than Church, and 
they lay for some time looking one upon the other. Church spoke 
not to Annawon, because he could not speak Indian, and thought 
Annaiuon could not speak English, but it now appeared that he could, 
from a conversation they held together. Church had laid down with 
Annawon to prevent his escape, of which, however, he did not seem 
much afraid, for after they had laid a considerable time Annawon got 
up and walked away out of sight, which Church considered was on a 
common occasion ; but being gone some time, * he began to suspect 
some ill design.' He therefore gathered all the guns close to himself, 
and lay as close as he possibly could under young Annawon''s side, that 
if a shot should be made at him, it must endanger the life of young 
Annawon also. After lying a while in great suspense, he saw, by the 
liwht of the moon, Annaioon coming with something in his hands. 
When he had got to Captain Church, he knelt down before him, and, 
after presenting him what he had brought, spoke in English as fol- 
Iq^ys ; — ' Qreat captain, you have killed Philip, and conquered his 
country. For I believe that I and my company are the last that war 
against the English, so suppose the war is ended by your means, and 
therefore these things belong unto you.'' lie then took out of his pack 



PICTORIAL HISTORY OF CONNECTICUT. 47 

a beautifully wrought belt, which belonged to PkiUp. It was nine 
inches in breadth, and of such length, as when put about the shoul- 
ders of Captain Church, it reached to his ankles. This was considered, 
at that time, of great value, being embroidered all over with money, 
that is, wainpurajieag, of various colors, curiously wrought into figures 
of birds, beasts and flowers, A second belt, of no less exquisite work- 
manship, was next presented, which belonged also to Fhilip. This, 
that chief used to ornament his head with ; from the back part of 
which flowed two flags, which decorated his back. A third was a 
smaller one, with a star upon the end of it, which lie wore upon his 
breast. All three were edged with red hair, which, Annaioon said, 
was got in the country of the Mohawks. These belts, or some of 
them, it is believed, remain, at this day, the property of a family in 
Swansey. lie next took from his pack two horns of glazed powder, 
and a red cloth blanket. These, it ajtpears, were all that remained of 
the effects of the great chief. lie told Captain Church that those 
were Phil'qy's royalties, which he was wont to adorn himself with, 
when he sat in state, and he thought himself happy in having an op- 
portunity to present them to hin)." 

ETIQUETTE. 

A story of the marriage of a daughter oi Passaconaway, in 1662, 
is thus related : — " Winnejmrlcet, commonly called George, sachem of 
Saugus, made known to the chief of Pennakook, that lie desired to 
marry his daughter, which, being agreeable to all parties, was soon 
consummated, at the residence of Passaconaiuay, and the hiliarity 
was closed with a great feast. According to the usages of the chiefs, 
Passaconaway ordered a select number of his men to accompany the 
new-married couple to the dwelling of the husband. When they had 
arrived there, several days of feasting followed, for the entertainment 
of his friends, who could not be present at the consummation at the 
bride's father's, as well as for the escort ; who, when this was ended, 
returned to Pennakook. 

Some time after, the wife of Wmnepurkei, expressing a desire to 
visit her father's house and friends, was permitted to go, and a choice 
company conducted her. When she wished to return to her husband, 
her father, instead of conveying her as before, sent to the young 



48 PICTORIAL HISTORY OF CONNECTICUT. 

saclietn to come and take lier away. He took this in high dudgeon, 
and sent his father-iiidaw this answer : — " When she departed from 
me, I caused ray men to escort her to your dwelUng, as became a 
chief. Slie now having an intention to return to me, I did expect the 
same." The ehler sachem was now in his turn angry, and returned 
an answer which only increased the ditference; and it is believed that 
thus terminated the connection of the new husband and wife." 

INDIAN LITERATURE. 

The following are letters from an Indian sagamore to the governor 
of New Hampshire : — 

"May 15th, 1GS5. Honor governor my friend. You my friend I 
desire your worship and your power, because I hope you can do som 
great matters this one. I am poor and naked, and have no men at

INDIAN METAPHORS. 

At a grand council of peace held between Gov. Dudley and the 
Penobscot Indians, Captain Simmo, an influential chief, thus replies to 
the Governor's address : — 

" We thank you, good brother, for coming so far to talk tvith us. 
It is (I great favor. The clouds fg and darken — but we still sing with 
love the songs of 2Jccice- Believe my words. — So far as the sun is 

ABOVE THE EARTH ARE OUR THOUGHTS FROM WAR, OR THE LEAST RUP- 
TURE BETWEEN US." 

" Although several missionaries have come among us, sent by the 
French friars to break the peace between the English and us, yet their 
ivords have made no impression upon us. We are as firm as the 

MOUNTAINS, AND WILL SO CONTINUE, AS LONG AS THE SUN AND MOON 
ENDURES." V 

LOVE well's fight. 

The following account of this " bloodie tragedie " is taken from the 
New Hampshire Historical Collections, without credit : — 

" It is said that Paugus was well known to many of the English, 
and personally to many of LoveweWs men. That his name was a ter- 
ror to the frontiers, we have no doubt ; and that his appearance at 
Pequawket, when met by Lovetoell, was enough to have struck terror 
into all that beheld him, may not be questioned, we will let the poet 

describe him. 

4 



50 PICTORIAL HISTORY OF COXNECTICUT. 

1. 'Twas Paugus led the Pequ'k't tribe : 
As runs the fox, would Paugus ruu ; 

As howls the wild wolf, would he liowl ; 
A huge bear-skin had Paxigus on. 

2. But Chamberlain, of Dunstable, 
One whom a savage ne'er shall sley, 
Met Paugus by the water-side, 
And shot hina dead upon that day. 

"The second in command among llie Indians on that memorable 
day was named Waiiwa, but of him we have no particulars. Cap- 
tain Lovetvell marched out from Dunstable with 46 men, about the 
16 April, 1*725, of which event the poet thus speaks: — 

3. What time the noble Lovewell came, 
With fifty men from Dunstable, 
The cruel Pequ'k't tribe to tame, 
With arms and bloodshed terrible. 

4. With Lovewell brave Joh7i Harwood came ; 
From wife and babes 'twas hard to part ; 
Young Harwood took her by the hand, 
And bound the weeper to his heart. 

5. "Repress that tear, mj- Mary, dear, 
Said Harwood to his loving wife ; 
It tries me hard to leave thee here. 
And seek in distant woods the strife. 

6. '• When gone, my Marj', tliink of me. 
And pray to God that I may be 
Such as one ought that lives for thee, 
And come at last in victory." 

7. Thus left 3'oung Harwood, babe and wife ; 
With accent wild she bade adieu : 

It grieved those lovers much to part. 
So fond and fair, so kind and true. 

8. John Harivood died all bathed in blood, 
When he had fought till set of day ; 
And many more we may not name. 
Fell in that bloody battle fray. 

9. When news did come to Harwood's wife, 
That he with Lovewell fought and died; 
Far in the wilds had given his life 

Nor more would in this home abide ; 



PICTORIAL HISTORY OF CONNECTICUT. 51 

10. Such grief did seize upon her mind, 
Such sorrow filled her faithful breast, 
On earth she ne'er found peace again, 
But followed Harwood to his rest. 

"They arrived near tl>e place where they expected to find Indians, 
on the 7 May ; and, early the next niorning, while at prayers, heard a 
gun, which they rightly expected to be fired by some of Paugus's men, 
and immediately prepared for an encounter. Divesting themselves of 
their packs, they marched forward to discover the enemy. But not 
knowing in what direction to proceed, they marched in an opposite di- 
rection from the Indians. This gave Paugus great advantage ; who, 
following their tracks, soon fell in with their packs, from which he 
learned their strength. Being encouraged by his superior numbers) 
Paugus courted the conflict, and pursued the English with ardor. His 
number of men was said to have been 80, while that of the English 
consisted of no more than 34, having left ten in a fort, which they 
built at Ossipee ; and one, an Indian named Toby, had before returned 
home, on account of lameness. The fort at Ossipee was for a retreat 
in case of emergency, and to serve as a deposit of part of their pro- 
visions, of which they disencumbered themselves before leaving it. 

" After marching a considerable distance from the place of their en- 
campment on the morning of the 8 Way, Ensign Wyman discovered an 
Indian who was out hunting, having in one hand some fowls he had just 
killed, and in the other, two guns. There can be no probability that he 
thought of meeting an enemy, but no sooner was he discovered by the 
English, than several guns were fired at him, but missed him. Seeing 
that sure death was his lot, this valiant Indian resolved to defend him- 
self to his last breath ; and the action was as speedy as the thought : 
his gun was leveled at the English, and Lovewell was mortally wound- 
ed. Ensign Wyman, taking deliberate aim, killed the poor hunter ; 
whi(;h action our poet describes in glowing terms as follows: — 

11. Seth Wyman, who in Woburn lived, 
A marksman he of courage true, 
Shot the first Indian whom the}' saw ; 
Sheer through his heart the bullet flew. 

12. The savage had been seeking game ; 
Two guns, and eke a knife, he bore. 
And two black ducks were in his hand; 
He shrieked, and fell to i ise no more. 



52 



PICTORIAL HISTORY OF CONNECTICUT. 



" He was scalped by the chaplain and another, and then they 
raarclied again by the way they came, to recover their packs. This 
movement was expected by the wily Paur/us, and he accordingly pre- 
pared an ambush to cut them off, or to take them prisoners, as for- 
tune should will. 

13. Anon, there eighty Indians rose, 
Who'd hid themselves in ambush dread ; 

Their knives they shook, their guns they aimed, 
Tlie famous Paugus at their head. 

14. John Lovewell, captain of the band, 

Ills sword he waved, that glittered bright. 
For the last time he cheered his men, 
And led them onward to the fight. 

"When the Indians rose from their coverts, they nearly encircled the 
Eno-lish, but seemed loath to begin the fight ; and were, no doubt, in 
hopes that the English, seeing their numbers, would yield without a 
battle ; and, therefore, made towards them with their guns presented, 
and threw away their first fire. They then held up ropes which they 
had provided for securing captives, and asked them if they would have 
quarter. This only encouraged the English, who answered " only at 
the muzzles of their guns ;" and they rushed toward the Indians, 
fired as they pressed on, and, killing many, drove them several rods. 
But they soon rallied and fired vigorously in their turn, and obliged 
the English to retreat, leaving nine dead and three wounded, where 
the battle began. Lovewell, though mortally wounded before, had 
led his men until this time, but fell before the retreat. 

" Althouo-h we transpose the verses in the song, to accommodate 
them to the circumstances of the fight, yet we cannot avoid entirely 
their irre<Tularity in reference to it. By the next that follow, it would 
seem that Lovewell received a second wound before he fell. 

15. "Fight on, fight on," brave Lovewell said; 

" Fight on, while Heaven shall give you breath I" 
An Indian ball then pierced him through, 
And Lovewell closed his eyes in death. 

16. Good heavens 1 is this a time for prayer? 
Is this a time to worship God ; 

When LovewelVs men are dying fast. 
And Paugus' tribe hath felt the rod? 



PICTORIAL HISTORY OF CONNECTICUT, 63 

" In this 16th verse the poet, perhaps, had reference to the morning 
prayer, which Mr. Fnje^ the chaplain, made before marching, on the 
day of the battle ; or, perhaps, more probably, to the ejaculations he 
made on the field after he was mortally wounded. In the morning 
he prayed thus patriotically : — ' We came out to meet the enemy ; 
we have all along prayed God we might find them ; we had rather 
trust Providence with our lives; yea, die for our country, than try to 
return without seeing them, if we might; and be called cowards for 
our pains.' 

17. The chaplain's name was Jonathan Frye; 
In AuJover his father dwelt, 

And oft with LovewelVs men he'd prayed, 
Before the mortal wound he felt. 

18. A man was he of comely form, 
Polished and brave, well learnt and kind ; 
Old Harvard's learned halls he left, 

Far in the wilds a grave to find. 

19. Ah ! now his blood-red arm he lifts, 
His closing lids he tries to raise ; 
And speak once more before he dies, 
In supplication and in praise. 

20. lie praj's kind Heaven to grant success, 
Brave LovewelVs men to guide and bless, 

And when they've shed their hearts'-blood true, 
To raise them all to happiness. 

21. " Come hither, Farwell," said young Frye, 
" You see that Tm about to die ; 

Now for the love I bear to you, 

When cold in death my bones shall lie ; 

22. " Go thou and see my parents dear, 
And tell them you stood by me here ; 
Console them when they cry, Alas! 
And wipe away the falling tear." 

23. Lieutenant Farwell took his hand. 
His arm around his neck he threw. 
And said, " Brave chaplain, I could wish 
That Heaven had made me die for you." 

24. The chaplain on kind FarweWs breast. 
Bloody, and languishing, he fell ; 
Nor after that, said more but this: 

" I love thee, soldier ; fare thee well!" 



54 PICTORIAL HISTORY OF CONNECTICUT. 

" 'The fight continued,' says the Reverend Mr. Sy mines, *■ very fu- 
rious and obstinate till towards night. The Indians roaiing and yell- 
ing, and howling like wolves, barking like dogs, and making all sorts 
of hideous noises ; the English frequently shouting and huzzaing, as 
they did after tlie first round. At one time Captain Wyman is con- 
fident they were got to Powawing, by their striking on the ground, 
and other odd motions ; but at length Wyman crept up towards 
them, and, firing amongst thera, shot the oiiwi Powaw, and broke up 
their meeting.' 

25. Good heavens ! they dance the powwow dance, 
"Wliat horrid yells the forest fill! 

The grim bear crouches in bis den, 
The eagle seeks the distant hill. 

26. " What means this dance, this powwow dance?" 
Stern Wyman said ; with wondrous art. 

He crept full near, his rifle aimed, 
And shot the leader through the heart. 

" The first of the following stanzas is very happily conceived, and 
although not in the order of the poet, is as appropriate here, as where 
it originally stood. 

27. Then did the crimson streams, that flow'd, 
Seem like the waters of the brook, 

That brightly shine, that loudly dash, 
Far down the cliffs of Agiochook. 

28. Ah ! many a wife shall rend her hair. 
And many a child cry, " "Woe is me," 
When messengers the news shall bear. 
Of LoveweWs dear-bought victory. 

29. With footsteps slow shall travelers go. 
Where LoveweWs pond shines clear and bright. 
And mark the place where those are laid, 
Who fell in LoveweWs bloody fight. 

30. Old men shall shake their heads, and say, 
' Sad was the hour and terrible, 
When Lovewell, brave, 'gainst Paugut went. 
With fifty men from" Dunstable.' "

NiNiGRET, or, as he is variously called, JVinicra/t, Hitiifflud, 
JVcncglett, Nenekunat, with as many more readings as there were 
writers of his name, was a chief of a tribe of the Narragansetts, 
which went by the name of JViantics. His place of residence was 
called Wekapauff, where Westerly, in Rhode Island, is now situated. 
Early in the history of the colonies of Massachusetts, the Narragan-

setts became entangled with the English, and negotiation and breach 
of faith followed each other so closely that the colonists lost all con- 
fidence in their red neighbors. The difBculty resulted in a protracted 
war, in which much English blood was spilt, and many Indians lost 
their lives. 

In 1643, a Dutch and Indian war raged with much violence, and 
Ninigret seems to have figured somewhat in it; but the war was 
brought to a close through the friendly interference of Roger Wil- 
liams, the " Indian's friend." After this he became a friend to the 
Dutch, and went to reside at one time among them in New York. 
The Dutch being at war with the English at this time, considerable 
alarm was felt by the latter lest Ninigret was intending an alliance 
with their enemies. Commission after commission was sent to the 
Niantics, and the sachem and other chiefs and braves were summoned 
to Plymouth and Boston to meet the commissioners of the united 
colonies upon the subject of their disatfection. The records of these 
meetings afford some curious specimens of Indian diplomacy. It is 
almost impossible to determine, now, the exact state of the controversy 
between them. Thus much is certain : the English made large de- 
mands of wampum of the Indians, as a compensation for certain al- 
leged robberies and injuries suftered by the former at the hands of the 
latter. Ninigret does not acknowledge the claim, and somewhat 
proudly replies to the commissioners, '•'•For ivhat are the Narrar/an- 
setts to pay so much warnpum ? I know not that they are indebted to 
the English.''^ 

The speeches at these conventions are worthy the slipperiest politi- 
cians of moderil days. In reply to the demand of the English con- 
cerning the true feelings of the Indians, they reply, " We desire there 
may be no mistake, but that we may he understood, and that there may 
be a true understanding on both sides. We desire to knoto tvhere you 
had this nexus, that there was szich a league made betwixt the Dutch and 
us, and also to know our accusers.'''' 

As a specimen of the eloquence of Ninigret, we give a portion of 
his speech on one of these occasions, as we find it condensed in Drake : 
" I utterly deny that there has been any agreement made between the 
Dutch governor and myself, to fight against the English. I did never 
hear the Dutchmen say they would go and fight against the English • 
neither did I hear the Indians say they would join with them. But, 



58 BIOGRAPHICAL DEPARTMENT. 

while I was there at the Indian wigwams, there came some Indians 
that told me there was a ship come in from Ilolland, which did rejiort 
the English and Dutcli were fighting together in their own country, 
and there were several other shijis coming with ammunition to fight 
against the English here, and that there would he a great blow given 
to the English when they came. But this I had from the Indians, and 
how true it is I cannot tell. I know not of any wrong the English 
have done me, therefore why should I fight against them ? Why 
do the English sachems ask me tlie same questions over and over 
again ? Do they think we are mad, and would, for a few guns, sell 
our lives, and the lives of our wives and children? As to their tenth 
question, it being indifferently spoken, whether I may go or send, 
though I know nothing myself, wherein I have wronged the English, 
to prevent my going; yet, as I said before, it being left to my choice, 
that is, it being inditferent to the commissioners, whether I will send 
some one to speak with them, I will send." 

Nini<Tret did not join with the other Narragansett chiefs in the war 
of Philip, but kept himself aloof. He did not escape the suspicion of 
the English, however, aud had considerable trouble to clear himself of 
the various accusations brought against him. 

Ninigretwas bitterly opposed to the introduction of the "gospel of 
the whites" into his tribe. To every appeal of the mis^ionaiies he 
returned ihe, argnmcnium ad hominnn^ '•'■When it makes (/ood white 
men, then come to Ninigret and his red brethren.^'' He believed that 
that was a very poor c7-ecd which produced no purer morality, and 
could, for the life of him, perceive no advantage to be derived by 
embracing a religion whose fruits were so imperfect. He could not 
separate the result from the speculation. Poor Ninigret ! he is neither 
the first nor the last that has labored, and will still labor, under " the 
dilemma." 

Ninigret lived to be very old, and the time of his death is un- 
known.

n E N D R I C K. 

In a beautiful spot in the valley of the Mohawk, on the banks of 
the river of that name, chief of the warlike tribe of the Mohawks, 
lived IIendrick, a famous old warrior of consummate skill and sagac- 
ity, and respected or feared by all the neighboring tribes. He ruled 
his own tribe with unquestioned authority, but with such wisdom and 
prudence as to gain the affection as well as respect of all his grim war- 
riors. Dauntless as a lion, he sought the post of difficulty and dan- 
ger, and wherever he would dare to go his braves were ever ready to 
follow. 



60 BIOGRAPHICAL DEPARTMENT. 

When tlie English settled in tlie valley of the Mohawk, they found 
Hendrick master of tlie soil and lord of all the red men there. He 
received them with a friendly hand, and through the prudent man- 
agement of Sir William Johnson, his friendship was secured, and he 
became a formidable ally in the war they afterwards waged with the 
French. Johnson had come to this country to act as the agent of an 
uncle who had purchased large tracts of land in that region, and he 
lived with the Indians after their own fashion. lie was afterwards em- 
ployed by the English in their war with the French, and was enabled 
to secure the aid of Hendrick and his tribe. ■ At one time he had 
nearly two thousand waniors in the field, under the English tlag, a 
larger number than had ever before been brought into an open field of 
battle. 

Hendrick was of great service to General Johnson, as he was thor- 
oughly acquainted with the country round for hundreds of miles, and 
his sagacious but homely counsel was often adopted with much advan- 
tage. When, on a certain occasion, it had been decided in a war 
council to send a small party to surprise a large body of the French 
his opinion was asked, he shrewdly replied, "If they are to fight., -they 
are too few ; if they are to be killed., they are too many." And when 
the question was discussed whether the attacking party should be sep- 
arated into three divisions, or make the attack in one body, he picked 
up three small sticks, and, putting them together, remarked, "See! 
you cannot break them together ; try your strength on each one sep- 
arately, and it is easily done ." 

Having decided on the attack, just before the commencement of 
their march, the old chief mounted a gun carriage and addressed his 
warriors in a speech full of fire and eloquence, and which had an elec- 
trical effect upon those impassive sons of the forest. He was then 
past sixty-five years of age, and his long, white locks streamed in the 
wind, making him look like one inpired. President Dwight thus 
speaks of this address : "Lieutenant Colonel Pomeroy, who was pres- 
ent and heard this eft'usion of Indian eloquence, told me that, although 
he did not understand a word of the language, such were the anima- 
tion of Hendrick, the fire of his eye, the force of his gestures, the 
strength of his emphasis, the apparent propriety of the inflections of 
his voice, and the natural appearance of his whole manner, that him- 
self was more deeply affected with this speech than with anyotlier he 
had ever heard." 



BIOGRAPHICAL DEPARTMENT. 61 

In this bloody fight Ilendrick received Lis deatli-vvound. He was 
shot in the back, a fact which greatly annoyed him, lest it should lead 
his friend Johnson to think he had fiUlen with his back to the enemy ; 
but as soon as he could be satisfied that the ball came from the extreme 
flank of the enemy's line, he died contented. He was greatly lament- 
ed, both by his subjects and the English. We will conclude our 
sketch of this noble brave with the following characteristic anecdote : 
" Soon after Sir William Johnson entered upon his duties as superin- 
tendent of Indian aftairs in North America, he received from England 
some richly embroidered suits of clothes. Hendrick was present 
when they were received, and could not help expressing a great desire 
for a share in them. He went away very thoughtful, but returned 
not long afier, and called upon Sir William, and told him he had 
dreamed a dream. Sir William very concernedly desired to know 
what it was. Hendrick as readily told him he had dreamed that Sir 
William Johnson had presented him with one of his new suits of uni- 
form. Sir William could not refuse it, and one of the elegant suits 
was forthwith presented to Hendrick, who went away to show his pres- 
ent to his countrymen, and left Sir William to tell the joke to his 
friends. Some time after the general met Hendrick, and told him he 
had dreamed a dream. Whether the sachem mistrusted that he was 
now to be taken in his own net, or not, is not certain ; but he serious- 
ly desired to know what it was, as Sir AVilliam had done before. The 
general said he dreamed that Hendrick had presented him with a cer- 
tain tract of land, which he described, (consisting of about five hun- 
dred acres of the most valuable land, in the valley of the Mohawk 
River.) Hendrick answered, ^ It is yours ;^ but, shaking his head, 
said, • Sir William Johnson, I will never dream with ycu again.'"

GOVERNOR SALTONSTALL. 



"There was a dignity and moral grandeur of character in some of 
that proud old puritanic stock which found its way into the wilderness 
of New England, as strange as it was rare, which quite eclipsed the 
ostentatious display of wealth and station which nowadays pass cur- 
rent for aristocracy. That was the aristocracy of blood and mind, 
this of mere wealth and place — the genuine diamond and the falsely- 
o-litterin*'" paste. It is impossible to look upon some of the leaders of 



BIOGRAPHICAL DEPARTMENT. G3 

the earliest settlements in New England without a feeling- of reverence 
and admiration, while, at the same instant, a smile is elicited at the 
incongruous robe of puritanism which is thrown over it. Wliat a 
strange mixture of character appeared in these men ! Punctilious^ 
exact and exacting; ready to do and dare ; to suffer and sacrifice; 
even to die for conscience' sake, and as ready to sing the death song 
of any unfortunate brother Avho perished by tlieir hands for an equal- 
ly conscientious difference of opinion on the great subject of religious 
faith. 

GuRDON Saltonstall, One of the early governors of Connecticut, 
was one of those magnificent men whose very step and carriage re- 
vealed the noble descent and proud consciousness of superiority, as 
his picture above fully exhibits. Of noble lineage, one of a long line 
of greatsouled men, his father came to New England early in the 
seventeenth century ; and from him has descended some of the finest 
specimens of New England men. Gurdon, the subject of this memoir, 
was born at Haverhill, Massachusetts, on the 27th of March, 1666. 
His early education was acquired at the paternal hearth ; and after a 
due course of preparation in the study of the parisli minister, he was 
sent to tlie University at Cambridge, Massachusetts, from wlience he 
was graduated in 1684, •when only eighteen years of age. 

His godly parents had long since consecrated their beautiful child 
to the mission of the Church of Christ — a consecration fully acknowl- 
edged by young Saltonstall as soon as he had reached the period at 
which he was thought capable of judging for himself. Accordingly, 
as soon as he left college, lie entered upon the study of divinity ; and, 
having received the approbation of the ministerial association in the 
neighboi'hood where he resided, he commenced his career as a pi-each- 
er of the gospel. Such was his great popularity, that he received in- 
vitations from several quarters ; and, accepting a call from the church 
and society in New London, Connecticut, he was ordained to his holy 
calling on the 25th of November, 1G91. 

Here he remained for several years, " every year increasino- in favor 
with God and man." He soon began to exhibit those traits of char- 
acter which so eminently fitted liim for the Christian ruler. Wise 
prudent, judicious, yet energetic and prompt in all the duties of his 
ofiice, his church grew in numbers and in graces under his diligent 
oversight; wl/de his magisterial character indicated to his friends that 



64 BIOGRAPHICAL DEPARTMENT. 

his sphere was in the civil realm rather than the clerical. Thus ad- 
vised by all his clerical brethren, and called to the change by the 
spontaneous voice of the colony, he left the sacerdotal robes at the 
foot of the altar, and, assuming the badges of political oflSce, he en- 
tered upon the discharge of the duties of governor of Connecticut, to 
which he was elected in 1707. 

Governor Saltonstall soon acquired immense intluence, and ruled 
with such discreet zeal that he was annually reelected to that office 
until the day of his death, which occurred September 24, 1724, at 
which time he was in the fifty-ninth year of his age. 

He was a strict disciplinarian, and the principal author of the Say- 
brook platform. Although contrary to the creed of the puritans, the 
rigid government of the presbyterians had a charm for him, and, be- 
yond doubt, had an influence with him in the organization of that re- 
ligious platform. Ilis influence and popularity were such that he 
could carry almost any measure he desired, and he doubtless contrib- 
uted not a little to the stern character for which Connecticut was so 
early distinguished. 

Governor Saltonstall had a most majestic eye, which was softened 
by an exceedingly benignant smile and a suavity of address, which 
put at ease all those who entered his presence. As an orator he had 
few superiors ; " the music of his voice, the force of his arguments, 
the beauty of his allusions, the ease of his transitions, and the fulness 
of his diction giving him the highest rank."

EDUCATIOIAL DEPARTMENT. 



We had expected to be able to give in the present Number, a beau- 
tiful view of Yale College. But we could not accomplish it in season, 
to have it placed at the head of our Educational Deimrtmcnt. We 
hope next year to give an excellent engraving of Yale, and to follow 
it up with representations of all the Educational buildings in the 
State, public and private.

THE STATE REFOEM SCHOOL OF CONNECTICUT. 

Li June, 1851, an act was passed by the Legislature of Connecticut, 
establishing " a school for the instruction, employment and reformation 
of juvenile offenders, to be called the State Reform School," and 
located at West Meriden. 

This act appropriated the sum of r^l 0,000 for the school whenever 
an equal amount was paid by individuals. At the request of Rev. S. 
W. S. Dutton, and Alfred Walker and Henry White, Esquires, Phile- 



106 ' EDUCATION. 



mon Hoadley, Esq., of New Haven, procured by subscription the spe- 
cified amount, and under his directions buildings were erected in 1853, 
and March 1, 1854, the school was opened for the reception of inmates. 
A Board of Trustees, consisting of one from each county in the State, 
had previously been appointed. Of this Board, Mr. Hoadley was a 
member, and was by them appointed Superintendent of the institution, 
until a suitable man could be found to take the place. 

The engraving shows the plan of the building (of brick) when com- 
pleted, which is designed to accommodate three hundred pupils, and 
those who have the care of them. From llie insufficiency of funds, 
liowever, only the central portion and one wing, and the Superinten- 
dent's apartments, are finished. A rear wing, thirty-six feet by eighty, 
is now (Feb., 1857) in process of building, and all at a cost of about 
$40,000. A farm is attached of near 150 acres, the cost of which was 
112,000. 

It is now nearly three years since the school was opened, during 
which time two hundred and sixty-one have been received, and ninety 
discharged by expiration of sentences, indentures, <fec., leaving our 
present number one hundred and seventy-one. Of all connected with 
the institution, in the judgment of enlightened charity, full three- 
fourths, or seventy-five in every one hundred boys, are thoroughly and 
permanently reformed. The others are benefited intellectually, and 
for the time are prevented from strengthening their habits of vice and 
crime. 

The boys are employed in farming, in making ratan and willow 
baskets, in burnishing, in stitching shot-jiouches and tape measures, in 
making and repairing their own clothes and shoes, in knitting stock- 
ings, and in the domestic work of the institution. 

Owing in part to the state of the farm, and in part to the difficulty 
of obtaining suitable employment, and the lack of proper facilities for 
working in the building, the institution cannot meet only a jiart of its 
annual expenses. But it improves in its history and operations from 
year to year, and accomplishes an incalculable amount of good upon a 
class of persons whom no other means of education or reform would 
reach ; and it is believed, as the people of the State become better ac- 
quainted with its working and results, they will complete the original 
plan, and sustain it with needful appropriations.

CONNECTICUT TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION. 

The fifth annual meeting of this Association was held at Meriden on 
Thursday and Friday, the 4th and 5th June. We learn from the Meri- 
den Chronicle, which has a full report of the proceedings, that there 
was an unusually large delegation from all parts of the State. The 
number of teachers present Thursday is thought to be greater than has 
ever before been known at a similar meeting of this society the first 
day, since its organization. Thursday afternoon there were present 
sixty-eight male teachers and one himdred and forty-seven female. In 
the evening the large hall was crowded, and many were unable to find 
seats. The attendance on Friday was not as general, many of the del- 
egates having returned to their homes, while a few came in on the 
trains. But, as a whole, the oflScers of the association have abundant 
reason to feel encouraged, that the great cause of common schools has 
enlisted so general an attention on the part of those most intimately 
connected with them. 

The Committee to nominate officers for the ensuing year, reported 
the following ticket, which was subsequently elected : — 

For President— i:. W. T. Curtis, of Hartford. 

For Vice Presidents — C. Goodwin Clark, of New Haven County ; 
Augustus Morse, Hartford County ; C. W. Todd, Litchfield County ; 
A. S, Wilson, Fairfield County ; John G. Lewis, Middlesex County ; 



EDUCATION. Ill 



Amos Perry, New London County; E. R. Keys, Windham County; 
L. L. Camp, Tolland County. 

For Recording Secretary — E. F. Strong, of Bridgeport. 

For Corresponding Secretary — J. W. Tuck, of New Britain. 

For Treasurer — F. C. Brownell, of Hartford. 

We find the following among the resolutions passed by the Associa- 
tion : — 

" Whereas, M. T. Brown, Esq., late Principal of the Webster 
School, and an efficient member of this Association, has left this State 
for a new field of labor, Therefore, resolved, that this Association re- 
grets the departure of one from our midst, possessing such eminent 
qualities as a Teacher, Educator, and Friend, and that our best wishes 
shall ever accompany him, that he reap that rich reward which is the 
fruit of true merit. 



SCHOOL FUND. 

School Fund Report. — This is a document of 39 pages. The 
Commissioner is Albert Sedgwick, Esq., and his statement of the con- 
dition of the fund, and the business of his oflrice during the past year, 
is clear and business-like. The revenue for the year has exceeded that 
of any previous one, its amount being $148,815.86 — and it would have 
been $150,215.86, but for the omission of one bank, in which the sum of 
$35,000 is invested, to make its usual semi-annual dividend. On the 2d 
of September the capital was $2,046,397 — which is less by $3, 555.73 
than heretofore, in consequence of the sale of unproductive lands — 
chiefly in Ulster County, N. Y. — at much less than their former inven- 
tory. The Commissioner thinks that what remains of this sort of land 
should be sold at once. For the last three years the Commissioner has 
realized upon the whole capital V-g- per cent. 

Aggregate amount of dividends paid over by the managers of the 
School Fund for the support of Common Schools, from March, 1799, 
to March, 1857, a period of 59 years, is $4,660,042.58. This is re- 
alized from a cash capital of .$1,200,000, besides paying its own ex 
penses. This capital has been increased by the judicious sale of for- 
feited securities, to its present amount. 



112 EDUCATION. 



The number of children legally returned during the last year, was 
11,545, a decrease of 275 from the previous year, and the amount of 
dividend $1.40 for each child between the ages of four and sixteen 
years. 

The schools are provided for as follows ; — 

1st. In the annual dividend of the School Fund, amounting in 1857, 
to $143,193, being an average of $1.40 for each child between the age 
of four and sixteen years. 

2d. In a portion of the revenue of the Town Deposit Fund, amount- 
ing by estimation in 1856, to 135,000. 

3d. In the avails of a tax of one per cent, on the Grand List of each 
town, which yielded in 1856, the sura of $70,000. 

4th. In the almost universal contribution, by the parents towards the 
board of the teacher, and the incidental expenses of the school, accord- 
ing to the number of children sent, amounting in 1836, to about 
$30,000. 

5th. In the power which is exercised in most of the city and many 
village districts, of a property tax, not only for the construction, re- 
pairs and furniture for school houses, but for other school purposes, 
amounting by estimation to $150,000. 

6th. In the avails of many local funds set apart for school purposes, 
in a majority of towns. In these ways the State has made liberal pro- 
vision for the support of public schools ; and in addition, has provided 
out of the avails of State taxation, for the education and improvements 
of teachers for the same schools in a Normal School at New Britain, 
and by a Teachers' Institute in each county ; and for the instruction of 
her blind children in the New England Institute for the Blind at South 
Boston, and for the deaf mutes at the American Asylum at Hartford; 
and for her young criminals, at the Reform School at Meriden.

REMARKABLE EVENTS 

OCCURRING WITHIN THE STATE OF CONNECTICUT, FROM 
NOVEMBER TO AUGUST, INCLUSIVE. 



We present but a meagre list of events in this number, for the 
reason tbat it was late in the winter before we had decided to get up 
the work. 

Nov. 29. — Snow fell for the first time of sufficient depth to make 
sleighing. 

Terrible Snow Storm. — Saturday, January 17, was a very mild 
and pleasant winter day. At night the wind hauled into the N. E,, 
and it grew cold very fast. At 9 o'clock, P. M.. the mercury had 
reached zero, and on Sunday morning it had fallen to 8° beloio, where 
it remained through the day, with a powerful easterly gale. In the 
evening it commenced snowing, and continued through the night and 
the whole of the next day a perfect tempest. Between two and three 
feet fell, and all the roads were packed full, and all travel interdicted. 
The Cliapel Street Church spire was blown down, and two lofty spires 
in Waterbury were also prostrated, besides much damage in many 
other ways. On the seacoast the storm was very severe. "The old- 
est inhabitant" was utterly oblivious of any equal to it "in his remera- 
b)'ance." 

January 23. — The coldest day of the season. Mercury fell, at New 
Haven, to 15° heloiv zero, and in some portions of the State it went 
as low as 3G° cypher. 

Long Island Sound Frozen Over. — For the first time, there is 
solid ice from the Connecticut shore to Long Island. Persons cross 
the Sound to Long Island on the ice from Port Chester, Westchester 
county, N. Y., and also from Throgg's Neck, near Fort Schuyler. The 
harbor at New Haven is frozen as tight as Baffin's Bay. An " un- 
usual circumstance" is mentioned by the New Haven Register. That

paper, of Monday evening, says that " Capt. Merrow, of the schooner 
Daniel Trowbridge, who has been for a week frozen in near Southwest 
Ledge, at the mouth of our harbor, reports that nothing but ice can 
be seen from his topmast, with a spy glass ; that from Faulkner's 
Island across to Long Island, and from the former to the Connecticut 
shore, up to Branford, is a solid piece of ice. At ebb tide a large gap 
opens at the mouth of our harbor, closing again at flood tide. Thus 
Long Island and Connecticut are for the first time in the memory of 
man, connected by solid ice." — Hartford Times, January 27. 

Hartford, Saturday, February 14, 1857. 
The Plainville Knitting Factory, at Plainville, Farmington, was de- 
stroyed by fire yesterday afternoon, with all its machinery and con- 
tents. The loss is about ^60,000 ; insured $58,000 in this city and 
Providence Companies. The company was a joint-stock one. 

February. — A horrible murder in Bridgeport has lately come to 
light. It appears that a man named Blood, in a drunken fit, killed 
one William Burritt, and that after he had done the deed, and be- 
came sobered, confessed the crime to his neighbors. His statement 
was not credited till the body of the missing man was found in the 
cellar of the house where Blood resided. He was arrested, tried, and 
found guilty of manslaughter. He was sentenced to four years im- 
prisonment, and to pay a fine of $100. 

The dwelling house of James Pt. Coe, at the Old Forge, Hitchcock- 
ville, was burned last Monday evening, March 10. The fire is sup- 
posed to have taken from a spark dropped in the cellar. There was 
an insurance on the building of $1000 — nearly sufficient to cover the 
loss. 

As !Mr. Ira Baker, a worthy farmer of Washington, Conn., was en- 
deavoring to extract a charge from his gun, on Saturday, the 14th 
inst., his foot accidentally touched the trigger, causing the contents to 
be discharged through his heart, and producing instant death. He 
was 68 years of age, and leaves a family to naourn his sudden and 
premature death. 

Unprecedented Snow Storm. — A rain commenced falling here 



REMARKABLE EVENTS. 163 



last Monday inorning, whicli changed to partly snow as it fell. The 
storm continued without internaission, and with great violence until 
Tuesday evening, and Wednesday morning broke clear and cool over 
at least 12 inches of snow in our village. On the hill it was deeper, 
and badly drifted, so that digging was necessary in breaking out the 
roads. On Wallen's Ilill the depth was fully 28 inches, in Winches- 
ter Center 20, in Colebrook and Norfolk 18 to 24, and in Sandisfield, 
fully two feet. Had it remained as it fell, and not melted, its depth 
must have been much greater. It is singular of this storm, that while 
it extended far to the south and west, whitening even the streets of 
Baltimore, and heavy in interior Pennsylvania, to the north of us, at 
Boston, Bangor, and even Haverhill, New Hampshire, there was 
neither rain nor snow, the weather being clear during the whole time* 
There was no snow at Hartford, very little at Collinsville, four or five 
inches only at Pleasant Valley, next to none at Plymouth, and a few 
inches at Wolcottville. It was the heaviest storm of the winter here- 
abouts, and will long be known and quoted as the Great Snow of 
April 21st, 1857. — Winsted Herald. 

The body of a man, supposed to be about 30 years of age, was 
found in the Connecticut River, in the vicinity of South Windsor Con- 
gregational Church, on Tuesday, April Vth. The body was well 
dressed. The only articles found in the pockets were two keys and 
three cents. His collar was marked with the initials J. B. — Hartford 
Coiirant. 

Cold for May. On Sunday, l7th of May, ice formed in Litchfield 
County the sixteenth of an inch in thickness. 

Julius Smith was badly injured at the Pacific Iron Works in Salis- 
bury, ]\Iay 24. While engaged in "habiting a box," the air got into 
the mould, causing an explosion, and blowing the hot metal into his 
face and eyes. 

The corner stone of the new Hartford Hospital was laid with con- 
siderable ceremony, on Wednesday, May 27. The State has given it 
$10,000. 

On Sunday, May 31, a terrible storm, accompanied with hail, swept 



164 REMARKABLE EVENTS. 



over the town of Salem, Conn., doing great injury to the crops. It 
continued for half an hour, during whicli time hail stones as large as a 
robin's egg fell, until the ground was covered to the depth of an inch. 
Much grain was completely ruined, and many fences and trees were 
prostrated hy the violence of the storm. 

A destructive fire occurred at New Britain, by which the large 
stockinet factory of the New Britain Knitting Company was mostly 
consumed, together with its extensive stock of machinery, and a large 
amount of stock and goods. The loss, we learn, will probably exceed 
1100,000 ; insurance $80,000, in Hartford, Providence and Spring- 
field. The capital stock of the company was $150,000, and was all 
paid in. Eleven sets of card machines, and a quantity of knitting 
and other machines were destroyed. The company manufactured 
shirts and stockings of mixed wool and cotton, and employed 150 op- 
eratives, besides several hundred sewing girls. A fire-proof wall on 
the north end saved a section of 50 feet of the building, by which 
means some valuable machinery was saved. Origin of the fire not 
positively known. 

This was the largest fiictory and the largest building in New Britain. 

A runaway boy from the Reform School, at Meriden, by the name 
of Taylor, was arrested at Waterbury and placed in the lockup for 
safe keeping. During the night he fired the building, and was badly 
burned before he could be got out. 

Joseph Wiklman, a young man in the employ of Messrs. Barnum & 
Starr, of Danbury, on Friday afternoon last, while oiling a "hanger" 
over a planing machine, caught his clothes in the gearing, hurling him 
with terrible force against the ceiling, and stripping him of every 
vestige of his clothing. He then fell into the machine, which was 
in full operation, one foot being drawn under the knives, chopping up 
his leg nearly to the knee by piece-meal, before the machine could be 
stopped. 

Mr. Russell Hubbard, a well known citizen of Norwich, on return- 
ing from church, on the first sabbath of June, felt unwell, and took 
some brandy to relieve him. With this he mixed, as he thought, 
some laudanum, hoping that it would do him good, but he soon be- 



REMARKABLE EVENTS. 165 



came miicli worse, and died at eight o'clock in the evening. An ex- 
amination showed that he had by mistake taken corrosive sublimate 
instead of laudanum. Mr. Hubbard was one of the firm of A. & R, 
Hubbard, paper manufacturers. 

William Howland, an interesting lad 14 j'ears of age, was drowned 
while bathing in the Farmington river, at Farmington, Wednesday, 
June 3. 

A German, about 25 years of age, was killed on Tuesday evening, 
June 23, near the Bristol depot, by the railniad engine. He was walk- 
ing upon the track of the road, and seemed not to notice the ap- 
proaching train, though the whistle was blown. He was picked up 
in an insensible state, and died during the night. 

The Hartford Times has the following romantic announcement : — 
Married at Willington, on the 20th ult., Asahel L. Beers, of Albany, 
N. Y., and Miss Ann Rider; their united ages are 12-4 years, and the 
courtship commenced 42 years since.

DEATHS OF EMINENT PERSONS 

IN THE UNITED STATES AND ABROAD, DURING THE PAST YEAR. 



Our year is intended to reckon from July to July. But as we had 
not decided upon issuing the Gazetteer until late in the autumn, we 
shall commence this record with December, 1856, and carry it up to 
July 1, 1857. In our subsequent volumes, we hope to make the 
recoKl square. 

DIED— DECEMBER. 

In Edinburgh, Scotland, December 24th, Mr. Hugh Miller, editor 
of the Witness^ the distinguished writer on geology. The Edinburgh 
Witness of Wednesday, in a supplement, thus briefly announces this 
sad event : — " Mr, Miller had been ill for some time — working hard 
and late at uight, in completing his new work on geology. He had 
become, in consequence, subject to aggravated attacks of nightmare, 
which partook of the nature of somnambulism. Some time ago at- 
tempts had been made to break into his museum, and he in conse- 
quence, slept with a loaded revolver on the table by his side. Yester- 
day, on account of headache and unrefreshing sleep, he had seen his 
medical advisers, who had warned him of overwork, and prescribed 
suitably. Last night, according to their request, he had taken a warm 
sponge-bath, and retired early to rest. After having slept some con- 
siderable time, he had apparently awakened in a fit of nightmare, and, 
taking up the pistol, had reached the bedroom door as far as the 
bath, which had been left, after use, in the adjoining apartment. 
There the pistol had exploded, the bullet passing through the chest, 
and death must have been instantaneous. The sound not having been 
heard at this hour of the night by any of the household, Mr. Miller's 
body was not discovered till this morning." 

December 21, of pyaemia, at his residence, the College, St. John's 
AVood, the Rev. John Harris, D. D., Principal of New College, Lon- 
don, aged fifty-four. 



DEATHS OF EMINENT PERSONS. 16*7 

William C. Redfield died at his residence in New York, 20th inst., 
at the age of 68. His name has long been familiar in the annals of 
science, especially in the division of meteorology, Mr. Redfield was 
born at Middletown, Connecticut. As early as 1822 he was engaged 
in an attempt at steam navigation on the Connecticut, and soon after 
was one of a company that established a line of boats from Hartford 
to New York. In 1825 he came to New York, and at once engaged 
in steamboating on the Hudson. In 1828 he published a paper on a 
" Route of a Great Western Railway," to connect New York with 
Lake Erie and the great rivers of the Western States. Nearly thirty 
years afterwards the iron horse crossed the Mississippi at Rock Island, 
the precise place proposed in Mr. R's pamphlet. He was an early 
and efSeient promoter of railroads on a smaller scale, along the Hud- 
son and Connecticut valleys. Forty years ago he began to study the 
theory of storms, and has published from time to time many valuable 
j^apers upon meteorology, in the nautical Magazines, The American 
Journal of Science, and the journals of the day. He also devoted 
much attention to geology, and carefully investigated the fossil fishes 
of the red sandstone formation in Connecticut and New Jersey. 

December 9 — The Right Rev. Theobald Matheav, the great Irisli 
Apostle of Temperance. He was born in Thomastown, Ireland, on 
the 10th of October, 1790. He was therefore GO years and 2 months 
of age, at the time of his death. He was left an orphan at an early 
age ; was adopted by an aunt of fortune, and educated at Kilkenny 
Academy, and afterwards at Maynooth College. He was admitted to 
orders in the Roman Catholic Church at the age of 24; immediately 
after which he took up his residence at College, and became deeply 
interested in the wants, necessities, and the sufferings of the poor. 
His labors, everywhere wonderfully successful, were turned principally 
to the suppression of iuteniperance. He worked day and night ; he 
traveled all over Ireland, winning thousands from the gulf of destruc- 
tion. He then went through Scotland, and afterwards England, every- 
where seeing his efforts crowned with success. In 1849 and 1850, he 
visited the United States, and added tens of thousands to the immense 
roll of total abstainers in this country. The people followed and 
crowded round him with every demonstration of affection, and the 
public authorities showed him marks of distinguished consideration. 



168 DEATHS OF EMINENT PERSONS. 

At Beirut, Rev. Dr. Eli Smith, lie was a missionary stationed at 
Beirut, and labored for many years in the conversion of the heathen 
and the reduction of the unwritten language of that country to a 
grammatical construction. He was a native of Connecticut, and a 
graduate of Yale College, of the class of 1821, and after due prepar- 
ation and consecration for his arduous work, sailed for the foreign 
field of his labors in 1826. 

Lydia Johnsox, a colored woman, residing in Brooklyn, N. Y., died 
at the advanced age of one hundred and jive.

patriots of Emmet's rebellion, was a bosom friend of Emmet, and on 
the failure of the rebellion and the capture and death of Emmet, 
escaped to this country. 

Died at Wiscasset, Me., on the 5th, the Hon. Moses Carleton, having 
in October last reached the great age of ninety years. He survived 
his wife, who was ninety-three at her death, only one short month. He 
was betrothed at seventeen and married to her at twenty-one years of 
age, and they lived most happily and affectionately together, through 
many changes and afflictions of life, for sixty-nine years. Mr. Carle- 
ton was much known in the meridian of his life as one of the largest 
ship-owners in New England. But his prosperity was crushed by the 
Embargo and the last war with Great Britain. He was one of the 
councillors of Governor Gerry. In his adversity he became a farmer, 
and worked most industriously with his own hands, even to the last of 
his protracted life. 

William Maxwell, LL. D., died at Williamsburgh, Ya., the 10th Jan., 
aged 74. He was a native of Norfolk, in that State, and held a high 
position at the bar. He represented Norfolk at different times in 
both branches of the Legislature. He afterward received the appoint- 
ment of Principal Professor of Hampden Sidney College, and subse- 
quently became editor of The Neio York Journal of Commerce., which 
position he occupied for several years. At a late period of his life, he 
removed to Richmond, where, as is said of him b}' the Norfolk Her- 
ald., "his usefulness was manifested on all occasions requiring the ex- 



DEATHS OF EMINENT PERSONS. 169 

ercise of talent?, tlie grace of eloquence, the aid of judicious counsel, 
and a ready and helping hand — and ever with a noble disinterested- 
ness which formed a shining characteristic of his nature." While a 
resident of Richmond, he was chosen Secretary of the Virginia His- 
torical Society, and editor of the Historical Register, a work which 
was to him a labor of love. 

At Montpelier, Vt., on the 24th, tlie lion. Samuel Prentiss, formerly 
a Senator from Vermont, and Judge of the United States District 
Court. 

At Havana, Cuba, on the 16th of January, Elisha Kent Kane, M. 
D., the well known Arctic explorer, in the thirty-sixth year of his age. 
Dr. Kane was born in the city of Philadelphia, Pa., was graduated at 
the University of Virginia, as a Doctor of Medicine, and soon after 
sailed with the American Embassy to China. He accompanied the 
first American Arctic Expedition, in search of Sir John Franklin, as 
surgeon of the expedition. The most striking act in the drama of his 
eventful life, was his famous exploration of the Arctic seas, in search of 
the remains of Sir John Franklin, in the years 1855-6. It was plan- 
ned and executed alone by him, under the patronage of the govern- 
ment and private munificence. 

In the purpose of his mission, he was eminently successful, and 
brought back the melancholy evidence of the destruction of Sir 
John's party in the midst of the Polar ice. He brought back also, an 
utterly broken constitution, which only sustained him long enough to 
give his valuable records of that terrible voyage to the world, through 
the press. His career was a brief and a glorious one, and he has left 
the world without one stain on the fair escutcheon of his honor. 

At Annapolis, Md., on the 24th, the estimable and venerable con- 
sort of the late William Wirt. 

The Rev. Dr. W. A. Medhurst, the well known missionary to China,

immediately took to his bed, and was insensible the whole of the day 
on which he died.

tliat place comparatively alone, on a most perilous journey eastward, 
with the view of reaching the Nile. He is said to have advanced 
through Birgirrai into Waddy, and to have been there murdered. A 
similar report reached this country some time since of Dr. Barth, who 
has returned to Europe alive and well ; but in the present instance the 
rumor comes on better authority. 

An Ancient Family. — Died at Hamburg, Erie county, February 
22d, Eiios Williams, aged 92 years. He was the last of the family of 
Jonathan Williams, Esq., late of Lebanon county, consisting of nine 
persons, whose united ages amount to over VOO years, averaging about

were firm adherents to the American cause during the Revolution, and 
shared largely in the toils and privations of that eventful period, sev- 
eral of the sons at difl'erent periods being attached to the regular 
army. Ebenezer, the eldest, joined it as lieutenant, under Gen. Gates, 
near Cambridge, previous to the battle of Bunker's Hill, and continued 
in the service till the close of the war. He was engaged in several of

icals, but in 1835, after a visit to Europe, he took Episcopal orders. 
Subsequently, however, he turned his attention to political matters. 
The Chair of Political Economy, in Trinity College, was established

removed to Wasliington city, upon a call from his compatriot, Major

he was appointed clerk in the Treasury Department, and in 1853 was 
transferred to the Examining Corps of the I'atent OfiiQe, wliere his

merit. Early in life he entered a government situation in London,

curred on the river St. Lawrence. The steamer Montreal was burned, 
and over 300 persons perished. Among them was the Hon. Stephen 
Clarendon Phillips, of Salem, Mass. He was one of nature's no- 
blemen, and lie succeeded in securing the love and good will of every 
one whose privilege it was to know him intimately, and his loss 
created a profound sensation throughout the whole country. At his 
home in Salem, all the church bells were tolled, the flags of the ship- 
ping and of the public buildings were displayed at half mast ; and 
touching allusions made to the public services and private virtues of 
the deceased, in the pulpits of the several churches. Mr. Phillips was 
55 years of age, was a graduate of Harvard, and represented Essex 
South in Congress, from 1834 to 1838. He was a man of great liber-

party, and was their candidate for governor two years.

It is tlie intention of the Publisher to have this department of the

case will allow. Some few mistakes will doubtless have crept into 
this, our first number, owing to the many difficulties always attendant 
upon a new enterprise. If any person in the State finds himself left 
out, or in any way misrepresented, if he will drop us a line with the 
necessary corrections, we will cheerfully make it right iu subsequent

JUDGES OF U. S. SUPREME COURT. 

We give the names, age, and time of appointment of the several Judges of 
the Supreme Court of the United States. The Opinion in the Dred Scott Case 
has probably awakened more interest in this Court than was ever felt before. 

Hon. John McLean, a native of New Jersey, is the oldest member of the 
present Bench in point of commission. He was appointed by Jackson in 
1829. He is 72 years of age. 

Hon. James M. Wayne, a native of Savannah, Georgia, holds the next oldest 
appointment, having received it in January, 188.5. He is seventy years of 
age, and down to the time of his appointment was an active and ardent poli- 
tician of the Jackson school. 

Hon. Roger B. Taney, Chief Justice, was born on St. Patrick's Day, 17*77. 
He was a very bitter partisan politician, so much so that the Senate rejected 
his appointment as Secretary of the Treasury; also as Associate Justice; 
but after the death of Chief Justice Marshall, he received the appointment of 
Chief Justice, in March, 1836, and was confirmed. 

Hon. John Catron was born in Western Virginia, but since his youth has 
been a resident of Tennessee. His age is 65. He served one campaign under 
Jackson. 

Thus far all the incumbents of the present Bench Avere appointed b}' 
Jackson. 

Hon. Peter V. Daniel is a native of Virginia, and a descendant of one of 
the English families. He was born in 1786, and is consequently 71 years of 
age. He was offered the post of Attorney General by Jackson, but declined 
it. He was afterwards appointed U. S. District Judge for Virginia, and upon 
the death of Judge Barbour, was nominated as Associate Justice by Mr. Vhu 
Buren.in 1840. 

Hon. Samuel Nelson is a native of Cooperstown, New York, and was ap- 
pointed by Mr. Polk in 1845. He is about 65 years of age. 



MISCELtANEOUS. 289 



Hon. Robert C. Giier was born in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, 
March 5th, 1T94, and is consequently a little over 63 years of age. His life, 
previous to going upon the Bench, was divided between the law and academic 
pursuits. He was appointed by Mr. Polk. 

Hon. Beiijaniin R.Curtis is a native of Massachusetts, born November 4, 
1809, and is consequently nearly 48 years old. lie never was a politician, but 
was taken by Mr. Fillmore from the Bar, and placed upon the Bench, in Sep- 
tember, 1851. 

lion. John A. Campbell was born in Alabama, and was a lawyer of di-stinc- 
tion in Mobile. He was appointed to the Bench in 1853, by General Pierce. 
His age is about 54 years.

THE COLD TERM OF JANUAEY, 1857. 

It is conceded on all liands that the " Cold Spell " of January, 1857, exceeded 
anything of the kind which has occurred in this countf j' since the memora- 
ble winter of ITSO, in which our ill clad army of the Revolution suffered so 
severely. We select the following from the newspapers of the day : — 

Boston and Vicinity, Jan. 22. — The weather last night and this morning 
was the coldest of the season. At East Boston, on the hill, the thermometer 
stood 20 degrees below zero. At South Reading it was 23 below, and at 
Maiden 20, with the snow blowing into huge drifts. 

The thermometer, e<\rly this morning, in this city, indicated a temperature 
of from 15 to 17 degrees below zero. At half past eiglit o'clock the mercury 
stood 11 below zero at the corner of Milk street. At same place at twelve 
o'clock, 5^ below zero. 

In Waltham, in a warm situation, a thermometer, which, on Friday morn- 
ing stood at 14 degrees below, indicated this morning a temperature of 6 de- 
grees lower. In another place on the low grounds of the satne town, the 
mercury, which on Frida}"^ was 18 below, stood at 28 below. In Woburn, a 
standard thermometer stood at 24 below, or 7 degrees lower than on Fiiday. 
In Lowell, at sunrise this morning, the thermometer stood at 28 degrees be- 
low. On Friday the same instrument stood at 19 below. 

In Maiden the mercury ranged from 28 to 31 degrees below zero. At Som- 
erville, on low land, 24 below. On Central Hill, within half a mile of the 
place where it stood at 24, it was only 4 below at the same hour. In Methuen 
and Lawience 32 below zero. In West Roxbury, 28 below. 

At Newtonville, this morning, the mercury stood at 24 and 26 degrees below. 
At West Newton, 27 and 30 below. 

At Concord the thermometer was nil the way from 22 to 29 degrees below 
zero. At Waltham we hear of one as low as 32. 

Dover, {N. H.,) Jan. 24. — The thermometer this morning .31 degrees below 
zero; clear and still, wind west. The average temperature here yesterday 
(23d) was twenty below. 

Bangor, Jan. 24. — At the residence of Hon. Elijah S. Hamlin, on Court

street, at sunrise this morning the thermometer stood o.t forty-four degrees he- 
loio zero ! At some other places not below 38. 

White River Junction, Jan. 24. — 43 below ; thermometer frozen in several 
places. At Woodstock, 43 below; at Dartmouth College, So below, being the 
coldest ever recollected there. The railroads are all more or less blocked ; 
yesterday's train from Montreal not in j-et. 

Norihfield, Vt, Jan. 24. — 7 A. M., 40 below; clear. 

Manchester, K //., Jan. 24.-7 A. M., 3.5 to 40 below. 

Woodstock, Vt., Jan. 24. — From five to seven o'clock this A. 51., the ther- 
mometer in some localities was 43 below, and mercury congealed in many 
places. Clear and still.

ported, was attained at Bangor, Maine, where one marked forty four degrees 
below zero. This must have been marked by a spirit thermometer. At 
Woodstock, Vt., the thermometer reached 43 degrees below, between 5 and 
7. A. M.

Rain in 1856. — Mr. Jonathan Clark, of Hampton, for these many j'cais a 
careful noter of the phenomena and changes of the weather, in writing a 
business letter to us, adds the following memoranda : — 

"Amount of rain that fell and water from melted snow, in each month iu 
the year 1856, in Hampton, Conn. :— January, 3.19 inches; February, 1.13 
inches; March, 1.36 inches; April, 2.87 inches; May, 5.37 inches; June, 
1.63 inches ; July, 1.87 inches; August, 11.50 inches; September, 3.88 
inches; October, 0.97 inches; November, 2.37 inches; December, 3.87 
inches. Total in the year, 40 inches. 

" In the year 1855, 37 . 38 inches of rain and snow water were marked. On 
thelSth and 19th of August, 1856, in the spMce of about 36 hours, about 5 
inches of water fell; while in all the month of October only 97 hundredths 
of an inch fell, as seen by the table." 



THE OYSTER TRADE. 

The Oyster Business is quite extensively carried on in various parts of 
Connecticut ; but Fair Havex, the Eastern Precinct of the old Town of New 
Haven, is the great center of operations. We had engaged a friend to pro- 
cure the statistics of this business in Fair Haven, but he, not having attended 
to it from pressure of business, we avail ourself of the following communica- 
tion to the New York Tribune, written by one who has taken the trouble to

more particular and statistical account. Editor. 

New Haven, December, 1856. 

Although a resident of this city for fifteen or twenty years, and, as I had 
supposed, tolerably well posted relative to its many sources of prosperitj', I 
was not, till within a few days, aware of the importance of one branch of 
business in adding to the wealth of this community. I refer to the Oyster 
Trade; and notwithstanding our place has been noted for it for along period, 
I doubt whether many, even of our most intelligent citizens, have any very 
adequate conception of its extent or importance, or the influence its discon- 
tinuance would have upon the growth of this vicinity. Fair Haven — a flour- 
ishing suburb of this town and of East Haven, lying upon both sides of the 
Quinnipiac River — is the great depot for the business, and has been almost 
entirely built up and populated through the influence of this species of shell 
fishery. It is here that the many operations connected with the trade can be 
said to commence, although the greater portion of the bivalves are brought 
from waters of the Chesapeake Bay. 

On a brief visit to Fair Haven a few days since, I obtained some meager 
statistics relative to this branch of industrial pursuits, which were interest- 
ing to me, and possibly may be so to your readers, especially that portion of 
them residing in the Western States. As I have already stated, the oysters 



MISCELLANEOUS. 299 



are principally taken iu Chesapeake Bay and its tiibutai-y rivers and inlets, 
and thence transported to Fair Haven, where they are "planted" or laid 
down in our waters, or else taken immediately from the vessel to the various 
places occupied by the many employed in opening, packing, and otherwise 
preparing them for market. The whole number of vessels engaged in the 
transportation of oysters to this place is about 80, mostly schooners, each 
capable of carrying cargoes varj-ing froiii 2,000 to 4,500 bushels. These ves- 
sels are generally owned in Fair Haven, but in busy seasons their number is 
largely increased by chartered craft. The amount of capital invested in this 
business cannot fall much short of §^1,000,000, and perhaps exceeds that 
amount, though I could not get any very connect data to fonn a decided esti- 
mate. 

The modus operandi of preparing the oyster for market is novel, and divided 
into several distinct departments There are the openers, the washers, the 
measurers, the fillers, the packers, (fee., each of which performs onl\' the duties 
pertaining to its own division. At this season of the year, few of the oysters 
are "planted," but are generally taken directly from the vessel to the places 
occupied by the openers, who form a large number of operatives, and are 
composed of females and boys, who earn from $5 to i?9 per week. An expert 
at this branch will open 100 quarts per day, but the average is not, perhaps' | 
over 65 quarts. The standard price is, I think, '2i cents per quart. This I 
work gives employment to many hundreds, and much of the work is performed 
at private dwellings, thus affording opportunity for labor to many who can- 
not go into a general workshop. The oysters, as they come from the vessel, 
are heaped up in the center of the room, the operatives occupying the wall 
sides. Each person has before him a small desk or platform, some three feet 
in height, on which is placed, as occasion requires, about half a bushel of oys- 
ters, from which the opener takes his supply. On the stand is a small anvil, 
on which, with a small hammer, the edge of the shell is broken. The opera- 
tive is provided with a knil'e and hammer, both of which are held in thei'ight 
hand at the time the shell is broken, when the latter is dropped, and knife 
does its work. Two tubs or pails, of about tliree gallons capacity each, are 
placed within about three feet of the workman, into which he throws, with 
great dexterity and rapidity, the luscious morsel wliich is to tickle the pal- 
ate and gratify the taste of some dweller in the Far West. The object of 
placing these vessels of reception so far from the operator, is to prevent, as 
much as possible, the deposit of the original liquor with the oyster; for, 
strange as it may appear, none of that liquor is deposited in the kegs or cans 
which convey the oyster to market, as they are all thoroughly washed in 
fresh water, and into each keg, according to its size, is poured a certain quan- 
tity of the same fluid. From the opening room the oysters are taken to the 
filling room, and thence to the packing depai'tment. In the filling room, on 
a platform, are placed a^dozen or more kegs or cans, with the bungs out. The 
oysters are first poured into a large hopper pierced with holes, in which tliey 
are thoroughly washed and drained, when they are ready to be deposited in 



300 MISCKLLANROUS. 



packages. This is done by placing a funnel in the aperture of the keg, by 
one person, while another " measures and pours." This operation is per- 
formed with great rapidit.j', two or three men being able to fill some 2,000 
kegs in a day. After depositing the requisite quantity of " solid oysters," as 
they are termed, in each package, a pipe conveying fresh water is applied, and 
the vacant space filled with nature's beverage — the bungs placed and driven 
home — when one of the greatest delicacies of the world is ready to start on 
its uncertain journey, for it may not reach the shores of Lake Erie, and yet 
it may he " gulped down " by some appreciative genius on the plains of Kan- 
sas, or still farther from its starting point. 

During the warm season, or from April till December, the kegs are packed 
in bijxes holding from sixteen to twenty-four, and surrounded with broken 
ice. In cold weather they are transported in bu!k. The result of each day's 
labor is dispatched to some Northern or Western depot, and thence distributed 
to subordinate stations. This portion of the business is transacted with all 
the precision and regularity of the United States Mails. The Hartford and 
New Haven Railroad are at present running from six to ten cars daily, loaded 
with oysters, mostly destined for the Western market, though a portion pass 
up the Connecticut vallej', and find their way into Canada East. A large por- 
tion of that section of country is supplied witli oysters from Fair Haven. 

I cannot, perhaps, give a more intelligible impression of the extent of this 
large and increasing interest, than by recording some facts connected with 
the business of one among the many large houses concerned in the trade. I 
select that of Rowe & Co., which has been in the business some twelve years, 
and their market is almost entirely north and west of Buffalo. This firm, 
which consists of three members, has two starting points, Norfolk, Va., and 
Fair Haven, Conn., and three principal depots — Buffalo, Detroit, and Hamil- 
ton, C. W. Fair Haven is the headquarters East, and Buffalo at the West. 
Tiieir Norfolk house, although at certain seasons it forwards opened oysters 
north, mainly attends to the buj'ing of the oysters in the shell, and sending 
them to Fair Haven, or " planting" them on the grounds owned by the firm 
in the Nanticoke River, (some 1,800 acres,) or in the waters near Norfolk. 
Their object in " planting " oysters South, where they lie over one season, is 
to obtain a larger article than they could otherwise. They keep one person 
constantly employed South in searching for and buying the extra quality, 
and they keep their boats "planting" the year through. 

This Company have in their employ over twenty vessels plying between 
Chesapeake Bay and Fair Haven, of which they are whole or part owners, 
and yet their demands are such that they are obliged to charter many more. 
These vessels, except for a month or two during the Bahama fruit season,^ 
are engaged entirely in the transportation of cargoes from the waters of the " 
Chesapeake to those of New Haven. 

Messrs. R. & Co. open and put up daily at Fair Ha.ven from 900 to 1,200 
kegs, and from 800 to 1,000 cans during the busy season, and at Norfolk also 
a large quantity, but we have not the figures for the latter place. Their num- 



MISCELLANEOUS. 301 



ber of openers is from 125 to 140, and they also employ about twenty otlier 
operatives. The cans are of tin, similar in shape to sardine boxes, but of 
greater capacity. Those packed in cans are designed mostly for the Cincin- 
nati and other markets in that direction. The cans are manufactured by 
themselves, on their own premises; but the kegs, in which much the larger 
quantity are transported, are made to order, and their yearly consumption in 
150,000, at a cost of about $15,000. They paid the New York Central Rail- 
road, last year, $15,000 freight money, but this only includes transportation 
to BuiTalo, to which should be added large amounts for t.ansportatiou still 
further north and west. 

This house has its distributing office at Buffalo, from whence its branches 
extend to Toronto in Canada, and to St. Louis and St. Paul on the Missis- 
sippi, embracing a large portion of the principal intermediate points. 



Connecticut One Hundred and Fifty Years Ago. — In 1*756, there were 
6 counties and 78 towns in the Colony of Connecticut. The number of white 
inhabitants was 12(3,995 ; of negroes, 3,019 ; of Indians, 617 ; total, 130,611. 
Litchfield County included Barkhamsted, Canaan, Colebrook, Cornwall, 
ttoshen, Hartland, Harwinton. Kent, Litchfield, New Hartford, New Milford, 
Norfolk, Salisbury, Sharon, Torrington, Winchester and Woodbury. Six 
hundred and seventeen Indians were counted in New London County, though 
there must have been others in otlier parts of the State. Litchfield County 
had the smallest number of inhabitants ; Barkhamsted having only 18 ; 
Hartland, 12; Norfolk, 84 ; and Winchester, 24. 

Tlie largest population was In Norwich, which had 5,540; and the next 
was iliddletown, with 5,463 ; and the next New Haven, with 5,085. Hart- 
ford had 3,027, of which 101 were negroes. Farminjjton, 3,7o7, and Windsor, 
4,250, then ranked above Hartford, as did Wallingford, 3,713; New London, 
3,171 ; Stonington, 3,518; Fairfield, 4,455 ; Norwalk, 3,050 ; Stratford, 3,058 ; 
and Lebanon, 3,274. 

In 1773, there was another census of the Colony, which gave 191,292 
whites and 6,454 blacks ; total, 197,746. 

It must be remembered that the towns mentioned above covered a very 
much greater territory than they do now, most of them having been divided 
several times. 



New Haven in Old Times. — The Middletown Gazette of October 8, 1787, 
printed by Woodward & Green, a few rods north of the Post-Office, gives the 
census of inhabitants, etc., in New Haven at that date, as follows: Whole 
number, 3,364, of which 176 were students of Yale College ; 446 houses ; 103 
stores; 324 barns and shops, " a large and elegant State House," and four 
houses of public worship. The same paper gives an account of Commence- 
ment at Yale for that year, and among the young graduates, we observe the 
names of Roger Sherman, Gideon Granger, Moses Atwater, and James Wads- 
worth. 



302 MISCELLAXEOUS. 



The Danbury Times, instead of cheaply filling up its columns with Con- 
gressional report? and the Burdell murder, has been giving, in a series of in- 
teresting articles, a sketch of tlie "Rise and Progress of Hatting" in that 
town. Eiglity years ago, in a little red shop, one journeyman and two ap- 
prentices worked at the business. Now, after an account of each establish- 
ment, tlie Times sums up as follows: 

Amount of sales per annum $947,000 

Capital invested, 260,000 

Number of Males emploj'ed, 743 

Females " 258 

" Hats turned off per annum, 106,160 doz. 

Fur Hats formed 720,873 

Amount of Cash paid to hands per annum, .... $416,000 

" Coal consumed, 1,870 tons. 

" Steam power, 223 horse. 

Machinery in use: Sewing Machines, 17 ; Fur Hat Forming, 8 ; Fur Blow- 
ing, 10; Carding, 12; Sizing, 22. 

Mail Comjiunioatiox between New York and Boston Ninety-Eight Years 
Ago. — Post-Office, New York, Feb. 3, 1755. — It being found very inconvenient 
to persons concerned in trade, that the Post from New York to New England 
has heretofore set out but once a fortnight, during the Winter season ; the 
stages are now altered by order of the Postmaster General, and theNewEngland 
Post is henceforth to go once a week the year round, whereby correspondence 
may be carried on, and answers obtained to letters between New York and 
Boston in two weeks, which used in the Winter to require four weeks, and 
between Philadelphia and Boston in three weeks, which used to require six 
weeks. But to obtain this good end, it is necessary, on account of the bad- 
ness of the ways and weather in Winter, to dispatcli the Post some hours 
sooner irom New York. Notice is therefore hereby given, that he begins his 
weekly stage on Monday next, being the 10th instant, and will be dispatched 
precisely at 9 o'clock in the morning on that day, and every Monday fol- 
lowing. Alexander Colden, Postmaster. 
New Yor/i Alercury, Feb. 3, 1755. 

The Great Flood. — On Thursday, the 27th day of April, 1854, a severe 
Northeast rainstorm commenced, and continued incessantly for three days, 
causing the water to rise in the Connecticut River and all its tributaries to 
an unprecedented height. The water rose several feet'higher than had been 
known since the settlement of the country. The city of Hartford was partly 
inundated, and the banks of the river were overflowed throughout nearly its 
whole course. A large amount of property, estimated by some as high as 
$2,000,000, was destroyed. 

Another unusually high flood occurred in August, 1856, causing much de- 
struction of crops, as corn, potatoes, Englisli grain, hay, grass, etc. Many per- 
sons lost their entire year's crop.

Oldest Max in America. — A eorresponclent of the Cassville (Ga..) Standard 
says that there is now living in Murray County, Georgia, on the waters of 
Holly Creek, a Revolutionary veteran who has attained tlie age of 134 j-ears. 
His name is John Ilames. He is known throughout the region in which he 
lives by the appellative, " Gran'sir Hames." Gran'sir is contracted for 
Grandsire. A grandsire he truly is. As I was on my way to visit this relic 
of the expired eighteenth century, I inquired of an oldish gentleman of about 
sixty, if he knew hirn. " Oh yes, I know him," said he, " he is my grand- 
father!" 

John Ilames was born in Mecklenburg County, Va., and was a lad ten years 
old when Washington was in his cradle. He was thirty-two wlien Braddock 
met his defeat in the Monongahela. He and several of his neighbors set forth 
to join the headstrong and ill-fated commander, but, after several days' 
march, were turned back by the news of his overthrow. He migrated to 
South Carolina nearly one hundred years ago. He was in thirteen considera- 
ble conflicts during the "War of Independence, and in skirmishes and ren- 
counters with Indians, with Tories and will) British, times beyond memory. 
He was with Gates at Camden, with Morgan at tlie Cowpens, with Greene 
at Hillsboro' and Eutaw, and with Marion in many a bold rush into a Tory 
can.p or red coat quarters. 

In this world of sin and vanity, it is a pleasant fact that the mind will 
sometimes turn from "the busy cares of earth," and revert to former time^^, 
" when life was all a mellow dream." An Ohio poet lately visited the home 
of his childhood, and after seeing his parents, wended his way to the old 
church, which it seems was being torn down. The scene was too much for 
the poet, and with a gush of anguish, he indited the following pathetic lines : 
" Fairwell, old churtch 
Of mi boyhood; witnesser of kat 
Tykisms and bakakes a leanink onto 
Strate seats, kau.-ing me many a spank 
ink at home for not sitting strate 
To meeting — old church. Good Bye ! 

Newspapers. — The first newspaper published in the Colony of Connecticut, 
was the Connecticut Gazette, establii>hed at New Haven, in 1755. It was pub- 
lished about thirteen years. Tlie second paper was the New London Sum- 
mary, established A\igust 8, 1758 ; and the third paper the Connecticut Cour- 
ant, established in 1764. 

Hon. Asa Bacon, recently deceased in New Haven in a good old age, left 
by his last will and testament the sum of $1,000 to the American Tract Soci- 
ety in New York, Si, 000 to the American Sunday School Union in Phila- 
delphia, and also the sum of $2,000 to Yale College, in addition to $8,000 
previously subscribed by him for this institution. 

The Old "Rkh Cent." — As the old "red cent" is about being calleil in, 
some of our contemporaries are Avriting its liistory and obituary. The ceiif, 



304 MISCELLANEOUS. 



was proposed in 1782, by Robert Morris, the great financier of the Revolu- 
tion, and was named by Jefferson, two years later. It began to make its ap- 
pearance from the mint in 1792. It bore then the head of Washington on 
one side, and thirteen links on the other. The French Revolution soon after 
created a rage for French ideas in America, which put on the cent, instead of 
the head of Washington, the head of the Goddess of Liberty — a French Lib- 
erty, with neck thrust forward, and flowing locks. The chain on the reverse 
was replaced by the olive wreath of peace. But the French Liberty was 
sliort lived, and so was her portrait on our cent. The present staid, classic 
dame, with a fillet around her hair, came into fashion about thirty or forty 
years ago, and her finely chiseled Grecian features have been but slightly 
altered by the lapse of time. 

The new cent is about the size of a quarter eagle, but much thicker, and 
nearly of the color of German silver. Tlie obverse is a well executed figure 
of an eagle in flight, with the date underneath, and the words " L^nited 
States of America" above. The converse is a finely executed wreath, repre- 
senting all the principal staples of the country — cotton, corn, tobacco, wheat, 
grapes, etc. — with the words one cent in the center.

^^ Emerson'^ and ^^ Putnam. 



The friends of these favorite Monthlies will be pleased to learn that in their 
consolidation the best literary and artistic talent of both publications has been 
secured, and that the most attractive features of each will be retained in the 
combined work. 

In its literary tone, and in its pictorial embellishments, the publishers will 
spare no pains or expense to make it a worthy representative of American lite- 
rature and American art. 

In its criticisms it will aim to be just and truthful, and in its discussions fear- 
less and independent. 

It will be purely national in its character, and will be careful to preserve and 
cultivate that wholesome, moral and religious tone so highly cherished by the 
American public, and so essential to the welfare of the race. 

We hope to merit the continued favor of all the old friends of both " Put- 
nam " and "Emerson," and to make hosts of new ones in all quarters. 

Though the consolidated Magazine will contain a few less pages, yet there 
being nearly one-third more matter on each page, each number will contain as 
much as " Putnam " since the enlargement. 

All subscribers having paid in advance for either of the Magazines, will re- 
ceive the combined work to the full amount of their subscriptions. 

Terms — Three Dollars a year; Single copies, 25 cents. 

For sale by all Booksellers and News Dealers. A liberal percentage allowed to Postmas- 
ters and Agents for circulating the Magazine. 

Clubs — Two copies, Five Dollars ; Five copies, Ten Dollars. A si>lendid LIBRARY 
of FORTV LARGE BOUND VOLUMES is presented to every person who gets up a Club of 
£4 subscribers. Full particulars on application. We prefer that Clubs shall not be formed 
where the Magazine is for sale in the trade. 

We will furnish any of the readers of " Putnam " the July, August and September num- 
bei's of " Emerson," containing the opening chapters of the " Life of Washington," for fifty 
cents. The " Life of Washington " will be continued through the next volume, and the 
whole will be illustrated with several hundred fine original engravings. 

" My Tliirty Years Out of the Senate," by Major Jack Eowning, was commenced in the 
January number of " Emerson," 1857, and will be continued through several numbers more. 
The letters embraced in each number will be found of exceeding interest, not only for their 
humor and drollery, but also for their historical character. 

Volumes commence in July and January, yet subscribers may commence at any time. 

Any of the nine volumes of " Putnam " that have been published, neatly bound in cloth 
may be had through any bookseller or news agent, price $2 each, or half morocco, $3. As the 
plates are about to be melted up, this is the last opportunity that will be offered for obtain- 
ing a set of this standard American work. 

Four volumes of " Emerson " have been published. Vols. I, H and III, elegantly bound 
and profusely illustrated, can be obtained at $1.50 each, and Vol. IV at |2. 

Odd numbers of back volumes furnished when desired.

PATENT MARINE WATER-PROOF 

FLO ATI N G SAFE, 

For the preservation of MONEY, PAPERS, and other valuables, in case of 
disaster or wreck to ships and other vessels. 

For the transportation of SPECIE, JEWELS, WATCHES, LACES, EAST 
INDIA GOODS, and other extra-valuable freight, and for other purposes re- 
quiring bu03'ancy and security from water and dampness. 

In case of wreck, this Safe is to be thrown orerboard and taken in tow. 
Where total loss occurs, it will float off and keep on the surface until picked up. 

F. ASHLEY, Westport, Conn. 

^^ jV'. j5. — Persons desiring the right to make and sell this Safe, may ad- 
dress as obove. 



A VALUABLE INVENTION. 

We were shown yesterday, by Mr. Ashley, of this State, a small-sized ''Ma- 
rine Floating Safe," intended to preserve ships' books, money or other valua- 
ble matters, in case of loss at sea. It is calculated to float with any required 
weight, from 600 pounds and upwards, for any length of time, and is perfectly 
impervious to wet, or moisture. It is composed of a large number of airtight 
compartments, so that should any half dozen of them be punctured by floating 
spars, or other pointed substance, it would affect its buoyancy in no serious de- 
gree, and would be conspicuous at a great distance to any passing vessel. We 
have examined this Safe very carefully, and believe it to be a most valuable 
invention. The amount of specie, jewels, and other valuables, annually lost, 
by the wreck of vessels, as all well know, reaches the sum of millions ; all of 
which might be saved by the use of this important invention. In the loss of the 
"Atlantic" on Lake Erie, in the summer of 1855, the Adams Express Com- 
pany lost its case, or chest, containing $70,000 in specie. Had the money been 
placed in one of these Safes, the Company would have been spared the great 
expense to which they were subjected, in raising their property from the wreek. 
But besides this, money cannot always be recovered, as this was, and is, therefore, 
of course, entirely lost. 

We were also shown, in connection with the Safe, the model of a " Vertical 
Floating Berth," the principle of which can easily be applied to the furniture 
of a steamer, or any other vessel. Each berth is capable of sustaining at least 
two persons ; and from the nature of its construction, will maintain its upright 
position when in the water. They may also be lashed together by spars to any 
extent and in this way compose a raft, or rafts, capable of sustaining any 
ship's company. In the case of the steamship "Arctic," lost in mid-ocean, some 
two years since, and which was five hours in settling, had these berths been in 
use on board that ill-starred ship, the whole number of the lost might have easily 
been saved. We heartily recommend both of these inventions to ship owners, 
underwriters and Express Companies, as things of uncommon value. — Neio

BOSTON STEREOTYPE FOUNDRY. 

EST-A-BLISIiEID IIST 1832. 



The attention of authors, booksellers, printers, engravers, — and all 
who are interested in printing of any description, — is called to the 
unusual facilities possessed by the Boston Stereotype Foundry for the 
application of 

:E3XjESOTn.oT"3ri»iKr ca-, 

whereby duplicates of wood cuts, type work, or steel engraving, can 
be produced in copper, equal, in every respect, to the original. 

The proprietors of the above Foundry were the first in the country 
to introduce electrotypes to any extent, and can confidently refer to 
publishers and printers to corroborate their claims to superiority in 
this particular branch of their business. By reason of their large 
fonts of type, they are prepared to contract for works of any magni- 
tude, and, as a guarantee of style and accuracy, would refer to the 
plates of numerous works which have emanated from their establish- 
ment, among which may be mentioned the Dictionaries of Worcester 
and Webster. 

New and tasteful type and borders are being constantly added to 
their already extensive assortment in the jobbing department, thereby 
enabling them at all times to meet the difierent styles demanded. 
Orders for electrotypes of bill-heads, cards, tags, spool tickets, — in 
fact, labels of every description, — are respectfully solicited. 

g, Sillier P^kl anb gi^kma 

were lately awarded by the Massachusetts Charitable Mechanic Associ- 
ation to the Boston Stereotype Foundry for electrotypes contributed 
to their Fair.

Their superiority consists in elegance of model and finish, simplicity and thoroughness of 
construction, lightness and rapidity of operation, easy management, quiet movement, econ-

beauty upon both sides.
